Convert an IOrderedEnumerable into a Dictionary [duplicate]

You are specifying incorrect generic arguments. You are saying that TSource is string, when in reality it is a KeyValuePair.

This one is correct:

sortedDict.ToDictionary<KeyValuePair<string, int>, string, int>(pair => pair.Key, pair => pair.Value);

with short version being:

sortedDict.ToDictionary(pair => pair.Key, pair => pair.Value);
