Hi @Sai_Kumar_111

Check the below thread.

Unable to install package for Dictionary

we assume that your project is defining “Windows” as selected TargetFramework Microsoft.Activities.Extensions Package is only available for the Windows - Legacy targetframework. However, we can work with dictionaries as well with the following alternates: Samples for a String, Int32 Dict Init: yourDict = new Dictionary(Of String, Int32) (assign Activity) ~ Add to Dict: yourDict(“YourKey”) = 123 (assign Activity) ~ Get From Dict: myVar = yourDict(“YourKey”) (assign Activity) ~ Key Exis…

I believe you are on windows compatibility and in windows that package is deprecated…so it is not available

but any activities related to dictionary can be directly done using assign

dict("Key") = "Value" - to assign a key with value
dict.keys to get a list of keys

dict("KeyName") - to get the value usign key

everything can be done directly

Hope this helps

cheers

[FirstAid] Migration to Windows target Framework - Missing Microsoft.Activities.Extensions package - Dictionary Activities

Introduction When changing from Windows Legacy to Windows target framework the package: Microsoft.Activities.Extensions is no longer available. This package offered a few Activities for working with Dictionaries. [grafik] Issue As the package is not available, so also the offered activities are no longer available and alternate handling is needed. Workaround Instead of using the activities from above, the same result can be achieved with the following options, mostly done on .Net API base. …

can you please let me know whats the variable type need to be selected for variable “value”…

[ppr (Peter Preuss)]

Depends on the dictionary:
new Dictionary(of String, Int32) - Value is of int32
new Dictionary(of String, String) - Value is of String etc.

When:
new Dictionary(of String, Object) - Value can be string, int32…
Then
Access myDict("MyKey") as usually
convert / cast the returned value into the needed DataType e.g. Convert.ToInt32(myDict("MyKey"))

Hi Peter,here i’m just using an excel file like referring "title "as key and “details” as value,taking them in data table and using for each loop…im little confused what can these key and value variable types can be given!!!thanks for any help…

[ppr (Peter Preuss)]

So it could be a Dictionary (Of String, String)
myDict = new Dictionary (Of String, String)()

For each row in Datatable | currentRow in YourDTVar

• Assign Activitiy:

myDict(currentRow("Titel").toString.Trim ) = currentRow("Details").toString.Trim

@Sai_Kumar_111

As per the screenshot both are strings

So dictionary(of string,string) should work

In assign you can uselike this

dict(currentrow(0).ToString) = currentrow(1).ToString

I hope you are looping on datatable then assign is inside the for loop

Initialize the dictionary before for loop using dict = New dictionary(of string,string)

Here dict is the dictionary variable

Cheers
