The following example demonstrates how to use Item to index directly into a Lookup<TKey, TElement>. This code example is part of a larger example provided for the Lookup<TKey, TElement> class.

' Select a collection of Packages by indexing directly into the Lookup.
Dim cgroup As System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable(Of String) = lookup("C"c)

// Select a collection of Packages by indexing directly into the Lookup.
IEnumerable<string> cgroup = lookup['C'];
