What you posted isn't a table-like or dictionary notation. It's something specific to your application. The name of an XML element doesn't specify any kind of behaviour. Just because one element is namedKeyand anotherValuedoesn't mean they are part of a table or dictionary.

Given how regular this XML is, you can deserialize it to concrete classes and write code that converts them to the form you want. You could use Linq to XML to load the string and transform it too. On the other hand, this schema is rather wasteful. Schema information like the data type should be part of an XSD, not the document itself.Icon,IconDescriptionetc should be attributes or elements.

Linq provides access to XML through the XDocumentclass which allows you to run XPath against XML. Whilst it is not exactly in the style of your ideal XPath does provide a handy query language for accessing XML nodes, and your tag suggests you might be interested in an XPath solution!
Here is an example of using an XDocument to query an XML file. For this example I've simply read a file from a stream.
using System.Xml.Linq;
using System.Xml.XPath;
...
static void Main(string[] args)
XDocument doc = XDocument.Load(new FileStream(@"C:path_toinput.xml", FileMode.Open));
string desrcription = doc.XPathSelectElement("/Response/Outcome/KeyValueOfstringOutcomepQnxSKQu[Key='IconDescription']/Value/Value").Value;
Console.WriteLine(desrcription);
Console.ReadLine();
