If you need to extract an element key based on index  this function can be used   public string getCard int random        return Karta  dict ElementAt random  Key      If you need to extract the Key where the element value is equal to the integer generated randomly  you can used the following function   public string getCard int random        return Karta  dict FirstOrDefault x   gt  x Value    random  Key      Side Note  The first element of the dictionary is The Key and the second is the Value

Is it useful to look beyond the exact question asked to alternatives that might better suit the need   Create your own class or struct  then make an array of those to operate on instead of being stuck with the operation of the KeyValuePair collection behavior of the Dictionary type   Using a struct instead of a class will allow equality comparison of two different cards without implementing your own comparison code   public struct Card     public string Name    public int Value      private int random          Whatever   return 1     private static Card   Cards   new Card         new Card     Name    7   Value   7        new Card     Name    8   Value   8        new Card     Name    9   Value   9        new Card     Name    10   Value   10        new Card     Name    J   Value   1        new Card     Name    Q   Value   1        new Card     Name    K   Value   1        new Card     Name    A   Value   1       private void CardDemo       int value  maxVal    string name    Card card  card2    List lt Card gt  lowCards     value   Cards random    Value    name   Cards random    Name    card   Cards random       card2   Cards 1        card Equals card2  returns true   lowCards   Cards Where x   gt  x Value    1  ToList      maxVal   Cards Max x   gt  x Value
