How can I include a dictionary in a datagrid?

Question

I have a dictionary

private Dictionary<int, data> mdata = new Dictionary<int, data>();

I would like to edit the Dictionary in the UI.

I think using with a DataGridView is a possibility.

How can I put the data from the dictionary into the DataGridView and after editing back into the dictionary?

There is no such thing as a 'datagird'. There are DataGrids and GridViews and DataGridViews, depending on what you do. Winforms? DataGridViews ! Did you see [this](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1928567/using-a-dictionary-in-a-propertygrid)? — TaW, Mar 24 '16 at 10:47
[DataGridView bound to a Dictionary](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/854953/datagridview-bound-to-a-dictionary) suggests using a DGV may not be the best way. Have you looked at the PropertyGrid answer suggested by @TaW? — stuartd, Mar 24 '16 at 11:23

dataGridView.DataSource =  (from d in dictionary
                             orderby d.Value
                             select new
                              {
                               d.Key,
                               d.Value
                             }).ToList();

That's not going to write the edited values back, though. – stuartd Mar 24 '16 at 11:21
