Returns the label dictionary for the instance. These are simply key/value pairs where the key is the label name. You may return null to indicate that there are not labels.

Declaration

IDictionary<string, string> GetLabels()

Returns

Type	Description
IDictionary<string, string>	The label dictionary or null.

Remarks

Label names may be treated as case sensitive or insentive based on how the underlying dictionary returned was constructed. Generally though, labels are considered to be case insensitive so you should probably use InvariantCultureIgnoreCase when constructing your dictionaries.
