How to initialize a dictionary in UI Path?

[spidey (Shivam Sahil)]

I have a long dictionary of multiple config elements like this:

{
…
“sheetID”: “efretbryygdf23r4ty54htrbgfdv”,
“sheetName”: “testSheet”
…
}

I have declared a dictionary variable and I want to initialize that dictionary with the one as I shared above, I tried to use:

new Dictionary<string, string>() { [“key1”] = “value1”, [“key2”] = “value2” }

but it gives me an error saying expected end of line. Does anyone know the way to initialize the dictionary like this?

Hi @spidey

Use this to intialise dictionary

dict= New Dictionary (Of String, String)

Check this too

Dictionary: Asking to initialize before using dictionary

Hey @shakahamed Before adding items to the dictionary it must be initialized. The default value of the Dictionary object is Nothing. To initialize it you can use an Assign activity or define default value in the Variables pane. The value should be new Dictionary(Of String, String) if both your key and value are strings .

Hi do you mean:
New Dictionary(Of String, String)
{
{“sheetID”, “efretbryygdf23r4ty54htrbgfdv”},
{“sheetName”, “testSheet”}
}

[NIVED_NAMBIAR (NIVED N)]

New Dictionary(Of String, String) From
{
{“sheetID”, “efretbryygdf23r4ty54htrbgfdv”},
{“sheetName”, “testSheet”}
}

Use this
