Now i need by using the same for each loop i am able to access key of the Dictionary alone please help me out how to access value of the Dictionary. Thanks & Regards P.Karthik

As it's not usually obvious how to translate C# code to C++/CLI try this: #include stdafx.h using namespace System; using namespace System::Collections::Generic; ref class MyClass { public: static Dictionary ^> ^ language_string_table; static void MyMethod() { language_string_table = gcnew Dictionary ^>(); List ^ list1 = gcnew List (); list1->Add(oui); list1->Add(non); language_string_table->Add(French list1); List ^ list2 = gcnew List (); list2->Add(yes); list2->Add(no); language_string_table->Add(English list2); for each(String ^ key in language_string_table->Keys) { List ^ values = language_string_table[key]; for each(String ^ value in values) { Console::Write({0}  value); } Console::WriteLine(); } } }; int main(array ^args) { MyClass::MyMethod(); Console::ReadKey(); return 0; }

I didn't really follow that but if you want to do it using KeyValuePairs rather than the Keys collection then use: for each(KeyValuePair ^> kvp in language_string_table) { List ^ values = kvp.Value; for each(String ^ value in values) { Console::Write({0}  value); } Console::WriteLine(); }

Hi No this doesn't give the exact values of the key. This might work for the Dictionary which contains two Strings but my Dictionary contains one string and one list so if i use kvp.Value[0] and[1] it is giving the values of the 1st key by default based on the index provided. If you can tell me a way where i can get whole list of a key. That is also fine. I can fetch data from that. Thanks & Regards P.Karthik
