Do you see your double quotes here?: Revision=""7.5.0"""
You need to do the same thing with the "50" or "80" whatever it is.

deepak explained :

Hi
Dim dictionayID As String = "80"

sxp_getdictionaryvalues = sxp_getdictionaryvalues & " <Item ID>" &
dictionayID & "</Item ID"

but its giving me 80 and not "80" i.e.

The value of dictionayID is '80', without the ' s.
If you want to have " in your output, you have to put them in:
sxp_getdictionaryvalues = sxp_getdictionaryvalues & " <Item ID="""
&
dictionayID & """/"
An other approach would be to use an XmlTextWriter:
(Note: C# syntax, but the objects are the same)

StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
using(StringWriter sw = new StringWriter(sb))
{
XmlTextWriter xw = new XmlTextWriter(sw);
xw.WriteStartElement("SXPDictionaryItemsGet");
xw.WriteAttributeString("Revision", "7.5.0");
xw.WriteStartElement("DictionaryTypes");
xw.WriteStartElement("Item");
xw.WriteAttributeString("ID", dictionaryID);
xw.WriteEndElement();
xw.WriteEndElement();
xw.WriteEndElement();
}
sxp_getdictionaryvalues = sb.ToString();
