Dictionary<>.ContainsKey gives RuntimeBinderException

Question

In .cshtml i want to check if a key exist in a Directory<int, Object> but i get always an error and can't find why.

This is my code:

@foreach (KeyValuePair<int, int> weekAndYear in @ViewBag.WeekAndYears)
{
    int key = int.Parse(weekAndYear.Value + "" + weekAndYear.Key);

    bool exist = ViewBag.Menus.ContainsKey(key);
}

The error I get:

The best overloaded method match for System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary<int,Object>.this[int] has some invalid arguments

When I use only the .Key or .Value it still works.

Edit - Solution

What the problem is, I don't know, but I have solved the problem with the following code:

foreach (KeyValuePair<int, int> weekAndYear in @ViewBag.WeekAndYears)
    {
        int key = int.Parse(weekAndYear.Value + "" + weekAndYear.Key);

        bool exist = ((Dictionary<int, Object>)ViewBag.Menus).ContainsKey(key);
}

Can you perhaps try using TryGetValue instead of ContainsKey and see if it works:

@foreach (KeyValuePair<int, int> weekAndYear in @ViewBag.WeekAndYears)
{
    int key = int.Parse(weekAndYear.Value + "" + weekAndYear.Key); 
    Object outValue;
    bool exist = Menus.TryGetValue(key, out outValue);
}
