Gets the entry at the specified index of the NameValueCollection.
public:
property System::String ^ default[int] { System::String ^ get(int index); };
public string this[int index] { get; }
public string? this[int index] { get; }
member this.Item(int) : string
Default Public ReadOnly Property Item(index As Integer) As String
Parameters
- index
- Int32
The zero-based index of the entry to locate in the collection.
Property Value
A String that contains the comma-separated list of values at the specified index of the collection.
Exceptions
index
is outside the valid range of indexes for the collection.
Remarks
This property provides the ability to access a specific element in the collection by using the following syntax: myCollection[index]
.
This property cannot be set. To set the value at a specified index, use Item[GetKey(index)]
.
The C# language uses the this keyword to define the indexers instead of implementing the Item[] property. Visual Basic implements Item[] as a default property, which provides the same indexing functionality.
Retrieving the values at the specified index is an O(n
) operation, where n
is the number of values.

Property Value
A String that contains the comma-separated list of values associated with the specified key, if found; otherwise, null
.
Exceptions
The collection is read-only and the operation attempts to modify the collection.
Remarks
This property provides the ability to access a specific element in the collection by using the following syntax: myCollection[name]
.
If the specified key already exists in the collection, setting this property overwrites the existing list of values with the specified value. To append the new value to the existing list of values, use the Add method.
If the specified key does not exist in the collection, setting this property creates a new entry using the specified key and the specified value.
Caution
This property returns null
in the following cases: 1) if the specified key is not found; and 2) if the specified key is found and its associated value is null
. This property does not distinguish between the two cases.
The C# language uses the this keyword to define the indexers instead of implementing the Item[] property. Visual Basic implements Item[] as a default property, which provides the same indexing functionality.
Retrieving or setting the values associated with the specified key is an O(n
