Accessing the key/value of a dictionary

Question

How do I access the key/value of a dictionary? I have this code:

    Try


        If keystrokeDictionary.ContainsKey(letter) Then
            keystrokeDictionary.Keys.Equals(letter)
        End If

    Catch ex As Exception
        MsgBox(ex.Message)
    End Try
    Return letter

Letter is a single letter that gets passed in with just its string value. Then keystrokedictionary is a dictionary that the information looks like this:

{[65, 0]}
{[66, 1]}
{[67, 2]}

Where the key is the first number and the value is the second number. Since my code isn't looking at the key/value right, it's not returning a letter, and therefore not working.

Answer 1

.Equals() is not an assignment operator, but a comparison function.

Try

letter = " ";

If keystrokeDictionary.ContainsKey(letter) Then
   letter = keystrokeDictionary.Values(letter)
End If

Return letter

Answer 2

Try like this,Use item to get corresponding value

letter = " ";

If keystrokeDictionary.ContainsKey(letter) Then
letter = keystrokeDictionary.Item(letter)
End If

Return letter
