if (openWith.TryGetValue("tif", out value)) // but value will become null

Open xml/System.Collections.Generic/Dictionary`2.xml and locate the TryGetValue(TKey, TValue) example linked in the issue. Review the sample around the shown initialization and missing-key case, then adjust the documentation so its behavior is not misleading. Confirm the rendered API example accurately reflects the method's out-value behavior.
