I have my dictionary as follows

C#

Dictionary<int, MyDictionary> outerDictionary = new Dictionary<int, MyDictionary>();

This is how MyDictionary defined

C#

public struct MyValue
    {
        public List<int> lstPayPeriodID;
        public List<DateTime> lstPaymentDate;
    }


    public class MyDictionary : Dictionary<int, MyValue>
    {
        public void Add(int key, List<int> lstpayID, List<DateTime> lstPaymntDate)
        {
            MyValue v1 = new MyValue();
            v1.lstPayPeriodID = lstpayID;
            v1.lstPaymentDate = lstPaymntDate;
            this.Add(key, v1);
        }
    }

This is how i added keys and values to the dictionary

C#

for (int iempIdcnt = 0; iempIdcnt < EmpIDs.Length; iempIdcnt++)
        {
            if (!outerDictionary.TryGetValue(EmpIDs[iempIdcnt], out dictAddValues))
            {
                dictAddValues = new MyDictionary();
                outerDictionary.Add(EmpIDs[iempIdcnt], dictAddValues);
            }
        }


        for (int iDictCnt = 0; iDictCnt < iPayYear.Length; iDictCnt++)
        {
            if (!(dictAddValues.ContainsKey(iPayYear[iDictCnt])))
            {
                List<int> lstiPayperiodID = new List<int>();
                List<DateTime> lstiDateTime = new List<DateTime>();
                dictAddValues.Add(iPayYear[iDictCnt], lstiPayperiodID, lstiDateTime);
            }
            dictAddValues[iPayYear[iDictCnt]].lstPaymentDate.Add(dtPaymentDates[iDictCnt]);
            dictAddValues[iPayYear[iDictCnt]].lstPayPeriodID.Add(iPayPeriodID[iDictCnt]);
        }

Trying to loop through each dictionary

C#

foreach (int outerKey in outerDictionary.Keys)
        {
            MyDictionary outerValue = outerDictionary[outerKey]; // Here I am not getting the values for first time..
            foreach (int innerKey in outerValue.Keys)
            {
                -------------------
                ------------------- My Code
                ------------------- 
             }
         }

While iterating through first key I am unable to get values in outerValue, can any one tell where I went wrong..

I think it may be a problem with your dictionary loading. I tried to set up a similar (but simpler) system for testing:

C#

private class MyDict : Dictionary<int, string>
    {
    public override string ToString()
        {
        StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
        foreach( KeyValuePair<int, string> kvp in this)
            {
            sb.AppendFormat("MyDict {0}:{1}\n", kvp.Key, kvp.Value);
            }
        return sb.ToString();
        }
    }
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
    Dictionary<int, MyDict> dict = new Dictionary<int, MyDict>();
    dict.Add(0, NewDict(0));
    dict.Add(1,NewDict(1));
    dict.Add(2, NewDict(2));
    foreach (int i in dict.Keys)
        {
        Console.WriteLine("{0} : {1}", i, dict[i]);
        }
    }
private MyDict NewDict(int i)
    {
    MyDict dict = new MyDict();
    dict.Add(10, i.ToString() + "=zero");
    dict.Add(1, i.ToString() + "=one");
    dict.Add(2, i.ToString() + "=two");
    return dict;
    }

When I press the button, I get what I would expect:

0 : MyDict 0:0=zero
MyDict 1:0=one
MyDict 2:0=two

1 : MyDict 0:1=zero
MyDict 1:1=one
MyDict 2:1=two

2 : MyDict 0:2=zero
MyDict 1:2=one
MyDict 2:2=two

Have you check the data loaded is what you expect it to be?
