Item
The Item property gets and sets the value associated with the specified key.
The following code snippet sets and gets an items value.

Int16 age = Convert.ToInt16(AuthorList["Mahesh Chand"]);
Keys
The Keys property gets a collection containing the keys in the SortedDictionary. It returns an object of KeyCollection type.
The following code snippet reads all keys in a SortedDictionary.
// Get and display keys
SortedDictionary<string, Int16>.KeyCollection keys = AuthorList.Keys;
foreach (string key in keys)
{
Console.WriteLine("Key: {0}", key);
}
Values
The Values property gets a collection containing the values in the SortedDictionary. It returns an object of ValueCollection type.
The following code snippet reads all values in a SortedDictionary.
