C# equivalent to Python ​dict.​fromkeys(​ListofKeys,​defaultvalu​e) ?

Essentially I want to do this:

var myKeys = new List<MyKey>();
var myDict = new Dictionary<MyKey, int>(myKeys.Distinct(),0); // where 0 is default value.

edit: lol nevermind, I had somehow missed the obvious answer \/ - was too deep in the actual problem this dictionary was for that I managed overlook the ToDictionary!

Is this what you're aiming for?

var myKeys = new List<MyKey>();
var myDict = myKeys.Distinct().ToDictionary(x => x, x => 0);

If you made any changes to the myKeys list they wouldn't be carried over to the dictionary, however any changes to the MyKey objects would be preserved.

Thanks, all I can say is "DOH!" after all I've used ToList before and must've seen that but not really connected at any point that it could be used like that.
