If you want to add some key-value pair only if it does not exist within the dictionary, use the following snippet to do so in a thread-safe way.

if (!dictionary.ContainsKey(myKey))
{
    lock (dictionary.SyncRoot)
    {
        if (!dictionary.ContainsKey(myKey))
        {
            dictionary.Add(myKey, myValue);
        }
    }
}
