Spring.Net Link to a dictionary item

Question

I cannot find out how to use the element defined in the dictionary (xml spring config) elsewhere in the spring xml file. I tried something like this, but I ever get an error in init "obj1".

  <object name="Paths" id="Paths" type="System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary&lt;string,string&gt;">
    <constructor-arg>
      <dictionary key-type="string" value-type="string">
        <entry key="cfgFile">
          <value>config.txt</value>
        </entry>
      </dictionary>
    </constructor-arg>
  </object>  
  <object name="obj1" type="MyTestClass" depends-on="Paths">
    <property name="cfg" expression="${Paths['cfgFile']}"/>
  </object>

Thank you for your help...

My initial answer was accepted, but now I believe that the best answer would be:

Your expression is incorrect, it should be:

<object name="obj1" type="MyTestClass" depends-on="Paths">
  <property name="cfg" expression="@(Paths)['cfgFile']"/>
</object>

You can use expression syntax @(object-id-here) to extract an object from a Spring context using an expression .
