Some .NET Framework components cannot be found with "Choose Items"
One of our customers is inquiring why some .NET Framework components cannot be found with "Choose Items" in Toolbox area.
For example, Dictionary class in System.Collections.Generic namespace cannot be found in "mscorlib, Version= Proprietary information hidden" or in "mscorlib, Version= Proprietary information hidden", though it definitely exists in mscorlib.dll.
Any points to be noted to this question?

According to the following URL, .NET Framework 2.0 or later contains the Dictionary class:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/x8bctb9c(v=vs.110).aspx?cs-save-lang=1&cs-lang=csharp
I tried specifying Assembly path to point .NET Framework version 4.6.1's mscorlib.dll as follows:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\.NETFramework\v4.6.1\mscorlib.dll
But the Dictionary class cannot be found here. Probably I'm missing something. Could we know how to navigate to the Dictionary class in this case?

When you go to the Pega Robotics Static Members tab you get only static methods. A Dictionary requires an instance. To create an instance of the Dictionary class use the Add Constructor for Type on the toolbar.

After adding the Dictionary to the Automation as in the movie, every operations such as adding Properties or Methods results in the errors such as:
"Object reference not set to an instance of an object.":
"Value cannot be null. / Parameter name: key":
How can we make use of this Dictionary component?
