How I am trying to get values from the Dictionary by way of dictionary[KEY] is correct and works. In your example and the examples from MSDN the TKey is a string, or some other non-collection type. With my example the TKey is a byte array, this is what is required in my actual application.

As I have tried to show in my first example, I can retrive the value for an entry easily when I specify the exact byte[] that I added to the dictionary....

I do apologize I am having difficulty desribing the problem from a third party point of view and I am assuming too much.

Referring to the example provided:

Actual result: "string result3 = dictionary[bytes2];" Throws an error, saying it cannot find the entry.

Expected result: "string result3 = dictionary[bytes2]; " Returns "hello" and puts it into result3, this is what I want...

I want the Dictionary to be able to search for the key byte[] by the values contained in it. I want bytes2 array (used in my provided example) to match a entry in the Dictionary because its values are contained in a key in the Dictionary.

Hello, I am creating a program that has a byte[] used as the key for a Dictionary class. The problem is best described with an example:
