How to have access to an element array ?

[C# newbie]

Hi,

How can I grab to a specific element value located into a string dicitionary
?
Let's say we have an string dictionary which is full and on a specific row
and need to retrieve one of the items.
I found "ContainsKey" method but when I write (within a foreach loop):

if (myStringDicArray.ContainsKey("ControlID"))

it's just returns true or false! I need to return the value in that specific
element.

Thanks in advance

Use indexers:

string val = (string)myStringDicArray["ControlID"];

Sometimes RTFM helps :

At the bottom you find the PrintKeysAndValues2 function, it has an example
in it, namely "myCol[myKeys[i]]" where myKeys[i] is the key you're looking
for. => myStringDicArray["ControlID"]

Before asking a question again, I'd always suggest checking on
groups.google.com for answers you may have missed. In this case a
simple subject search for "about StringDictionary" finds exactly one
thread, which is the one you posted, including my response.
