Reason for my vote of 2
Invalid question: the dictionary in not "in C# language".

"What is" is also incorrect formulation of the question.
"It is a dictionary" -- is this correct answer sufficient or not? :-)

Failure to read MSDN help page on this generic class. If that article is not clear, OP could ask specific questions. Just lazy.

There is no an apparent way to answer. What is the essence of this question. What is unclear? How to read MSDN?

And just in case if the OP is from C++ background, the nearest synonym of this in C++ is map<key,value>

Dictionary is typically a series of Key and Value Pairs stored in a manner that is easily searchable. The Key must be unique.

When answering a question please:

Read the question carefully.
Understand that English isn't everyone's first language so be lenient of bad spelling and grammar.
If a question is poorly phrased then either ask for clarification, ignore it, or edit the question and fix the problem. Insults are not welcome.
Don't tell someone to read the manual. Chances are they have and don't get it. Provide an answer or move on to the next question.

What's wrong with the MSDN page below?

Perhaps most important reading required here is this:
Microsoft Q209354.
