Using dictionaries without Microsoft.Activities.Extensions package

[k.entwistle (Katie Entwistle)]

Hi, I have noticed that the above package is only compatible with windows legacy projects (Microsoft.Activities.extension package not found in manage packages which was available earlier). We use this package extensively throughout all our enterprise projects as we use dictionaries quite a lot.

If this package is not available for windows projects and there is no plan to release a new version of it which IS compatible, how do we move forward? Is there a way to use dictionaries without this package? Or are dictionaries perhaps an outdated way of handling config files etc?

Thank you

As a work around you can use dictionary directly

Dict("key")= value

New dictionary(of string,string) can be used for initializing

Please check this for work around

This package offered a few Activities for working with Dictionaries.

Workaround Instead of using the activities from above, the same result can be achieved with the following options, mostly done on .Net API base. …
