for(var i=0; i< 10000; i++){
    ((IDictionary)resultCollection).Add(key, value);
}

In the code above, I am casting resultCollection(which is of type ICollection) to IDictionary. It is in for loop. Does it affect performance if it is done in loop(which will loop several thousand times)?

It most likely doesn't help. [See also](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1923882/how-expensive-is-casting-an-object). – Kilazur Feb 03 '17 at 11:30

Do you have a reason for *wanting* to keep it inside the loop? Do you think it affects the readability in some way? – Damien_The_Unbeliever Feb 03 '17 at 11:31
