Returns an item from an IDictionary collection by key.

Dictionary items can't be directly accessed via COM, as .NET doesn't expose keyed collections in a manner that COM can use directly. This function provides a wrapper that lets you easily retrieve a dictionary item by its key value.

This allows easy access to retrieve values by key for C# code like this:

var dictionary = new Dictionary<string, string>() {
    { "name", "Rick" },
    { "company", "West Wind" }
};

var name = dictionary["name"];
var company = dictionary["company"];

Using GetDictionaryItem() you can access the same collection in FoxPro like this:

loDictionary = loService.GetDictionary();  && Dictionary<string,string>

lcName = loBridge.GetDictionaryItem(loDictionary, "name")
lcCompany = loBridge.GetDictionaryItem(loDictionary, "company")

Note dictionaries can have keys and values of any type. The example here uses <string, string> but that's just one common combination. Dictionaries could be <string, object> or <string, decimal> or <object, MyType>.
