Answer 1

You got only the getters of the ItemX properties, that's right, but I found a way to first instanciate a tupple with empty values and fill them afterwords.

If you do something like this :

Dictionary > mydic = new  Dictionary>(); 
Tuple tplTemp = new Tuple("", "");
 mydic.TryGetValue("akey", out tplTemp);

The tplTemp passed as an out parameter will have it's 2 items values from the collection. So that's a way of doing in case this can help's someone.
