Two ways:

' Explicit
myDict.Item("myKey") = newValue
' Shortcut
myDict("myKey") = newValue

Thanks for this. I eneded up using removing the key value before iterating next loop and then adding it back.

Hi, to handle duplicated or non-existing keys, I would suggest you to use a couple of nifty extended dictionary methods available in OneStream: XFGetValue and XFSetValue.

Dim params As New Dictionary(Of String, String)
params.XFSetValue("sameKey", "A")
params.XFSetValue("sameKey", "AB")
Dim sValue As String = params.XFGetValue("noKey", "defaultValue")
