Question

Weird question, but I have a dictionary created with StringComparer.OrdinalIgnoreCase, looks something like this

AaA, 10
aAB, 20
AAC, 12

I then use myDictionary[“AAA”] to find the value associated with the key, but what I also need to know is what the actual spelling of the key is in myDictionary, e.g. in this case I want it to return AaA. Any way to do this without a loop?
Thx.

string value = myDictionary.First(v => StringComparer.Create(CultureInfo.CurrentCulture,true)
                  .Compare(v.Key,"AAA") == 0)
                  .Key
