You could loop through your hashtable and search for the key value pair you want then exit the loop once you find the value.

foreach(DictionaryEntry de in hashtableName)
{
  if(de.Value.ToString() == "thevalueuwant")
  {
    //do something:
    break;
  }
}

Or you could use an enumerator to move through the hashtable

IDictionaryEnumerator enumerator = hashtableName.GetEnumerator();
while(enumerator.MoveNext())
{
if(enumerator.Value.ToString() == "thevalueuwant")
{
   //do something;
   break; 
}
}
