ListDictionary.IsReadOnly property is used to get a value indicating whether the ListDictionary is read-only or not. Syntax:
  public bool IsReadOnly { get; }  
Return Value : This property always returns false. Example: CSHARP
// C# code to check if ListDictionary is read-only using System; using System.Collections; using System.Collections.Specialized;  class GFG {      // Driver code     public static void Main()     {          // Creating a ListDictionary named myDict         ListDictionary myDict = new ListDictionary();          myDict.Add("Australia", "Canberra");         myDict.Add("Belgium", "Brussels");         myDict.Add("Netherlands", "Amsterdam");         myDict.Add("China", "Beijing");         myDict.Add("Russia", "Moscow");         myDict.Add("India", "New Delhi");          // Checking if ListDictionary is read-only         Console.WriteLine(myDict.IsReadOnly);     } } 
Output:
  False  
Note:
  • A collection that is read-only does not allow the addition, removal, or modification of elements after the collection is created.
  • A collection that is read-only is simply a collection with a wrapper that prevents modifying the collection. Therefore, if changes are made to the underlying collection, the read-only collection reflects those changes.
  • Retrieving the value of this property is an O(1) operation.
