What is KEY/VALUE Pair in Asp.net

Hi..Rajesh
KeyValue Pair Stores two values together. It is a single generic structure in c# progamming language.
The KeyValuePair type in System.Collections.Generic is simple and always available. It is used internally in Dictionary and other collections.
Example
List type

First this example shows how you can use KeyValuePair in a List, which is also in System.Collections.Generic. This is useful for storing pairs of values in a single List.
Alternatively: You could use two separate Lists, but that can complicate matters.

Program that uses KeyValuePair [C#]

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;

class Program
{
static void Main()
{
// Shows a List of KeyValuePairs.
var list = new List<KeyValuePair<string, int>>();
list.Add(new KeyValuePair<string, int>("Cat", 1));
list.Add(new KeyValuePair<string, int>("Dog", 2));
list.Add(new KeyValuePair<string, int>("Rabbit", 4));

foreach (var element in list)
{
Console.WriteLine(element);
}
}
}
Output
[Cat, 1]
[Dog, 2]
[Rabbit, 4]
This Example shows how you can initialize a new List of type KeyValuePair. Inside the brackets in the KeyValuePair, there are two types separated by a comma. This example shows KeyValuePairs of one string and one int each.

KeyValue Pair and Name Value Pair Both are Different...

good explanation sravya
apart from that i will include some points
As mentioned above key value pair was in System.Collections.Generic.
syntax ;

public struct KeyValuePair<KVPKey, KVPValue>

KVPkey : The type of the key. It is used to get the key in the keyvaluepair

KVPValue: The type of the Value.It is used to get the Value in the keyvaluepair

Methods in keyvaluepair:

Equals	        Indicates whether this instance and a specified object are equal. (Inherited from ValueType.)

GetHashCode	Returns the hash code for this instance. (Inherited from ValueType.)

GetType	        Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)

ToString	        Returns a string representation of the KeyValuePair<TKey, TValue>, using the string representations of the key and value. (Overrides   ValueType.ToString().)
