ASP Item Property

The ASP Item Property is used to return or set the value of an item in the Dictionary Object.

Syntax:

DictionaryObject.Item(key)[=newitem]

Parameter Values:

• key: It specifies the key that is associated with an item. It is a required attribute.
• newitem: It specifies the new item that has to be set for the given key.

Example: The below code demonstrates the ASP Dictionary.Item Property.

ASP

<%
Dim dict

'Create a new dictionary
Set dict=Server.CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")

'Add values to the dictionary
dict.Add "g","green"
dict.Add "r","red"
dict.Add "p","purple"

'Getting a value from the dictionary
Response.Write("Value of key 'p' is: " & dict.Item("p"))

'Setting a new value to the key
dict.Item("p") = "violet"

'Getting the value again from the dictionary
Response.Write("<br>Value of key 'p' is: " & dict.Item("p"))
%>

Output:

Value of key 'p' is: purple
Value of key 'p' is: violet
