The following activity illustrates on how we can use the set value activity to update the value for a key in the dictionary. Here we are going to use the continuity of the same example that we used in add to dictionary.
Example:
1. Drag and drop the set value activity below the view dictionary activity.
2. Double click on the activity
3. In the property box give the name of the dictionary as DictNameAge
4. In the Key, enter the key for which the value must be edited. Here it is John “38”
5. In the value, enter the new value that must be updated to the specified key. Here it is John “40”
6. Select the ArgumentType1 and ArgumentType2 as it is in the dictionary. Here it is string and Int32 respectively.
7. Drag and drop the view dictionary activity below the set value activity to view the updated dictionary.
8. Execute the workflow to see the updated dictionary.
