StringDictionary is a class present in the System.Collections.Specialized namespace.
It implements hash table with the key and the value strongly typed to be strings rather than objects.

There is no StringDictionary class in ASP.NET, ASP.NET is the framework for generating HTML, and the container classes are part of the overall .NET framework which exists inside ASP.NET. They have no specific use in ASP.NET.

A StringDictionary is a specialised name/value pair container that addresses the common usage where both values are strings. It's used to use one value to look up another, just like a dictionary uses a word to look up it's meaning. I'd suggest if you've not done a computer science course ( as appears to be likely ) that you buy some books on the nature of different containers. The book 'algorithms in C' is a good book to read, even if you don't know C, in order to fully understand these basic tools of the trade.
