[RESOLVED] [2005] Retreiving String from object dictionary

[Troy Lundin]

I have a dictionary set up like so.

Dim dict As New Dictionary(Of String, Object)
dict.Add("Filename", s)
dict.Add("Type", CType(id(3), FileType))

I then store the dictionary into a dynamically created form's Tag property.
I have tried to extract the "Filename" (which is a string) by using:

CType(Me.Tag, Dictionary(Of String, Object))("Filename").ToString

I get the error: Cannot convert Dictionary(Of String, Object) to String.
I am not trying to convert the dictionary, just the "Filename" entry.

Any idea of how to do this? Thanks, Troy.
