After completing his preparatory and law studies, Van Dyke was admitted to the Bar in 1836. He began practice in New Brunswick, New Jersey. In 1841, Van Dyke became prosecuting attorney of Middlesex County. A few years later, in 1846-1847, he served as president of the Bank of New Jersey at New Brunswick, while also serving as Mayor of New Brunswick.

Van Dyke's political career also began in 1847; he was elected to the Thirtieth and Thirty-first Congresses as a Whig. He served until March 3, 1851. Van Dyke declined re-nomination for another term, choosing instead to continue his law practice.

In 1868, Van Dyke moved to Wabasha, Minnesota, where he went on to serve in the Minnesota Senate from 1872 to 1873 and a judge of the third judicial district from 1873-1878.

Van Dyke is interred in Wabasha's Riverview Cemetery.
