VariableDispenser.Contains(String) Method

Definition

Specifies whether an item can be retrieved from the VariableDispenser collection by using indexing without throwing an exception.

public:
 bool Contains(System::String ^ variable);
public bool Contains (string variable);
member this.Contains : string -> bool
Public Function Contains (variable As String) As Boolean

Parameters

variable
String

The name of the variable to locate in the VariableDispenser collection.

Returns

true indicates that the syntax VariableDispenser[x] can be used without throwing an exception. A value of false indicates that indexing cannot be used to retrieve items from the collection.

Examples

The following code example creates a VariableDispenser and uses the Contains method to return a Boolean to determine whether indexing syntax can be used on the collection.

using System;  
using System.Collections.Generic;  
using System.Text;  
using Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime;  

namespace Microsoft.SqlServer.SSIS.Sample

        {  
            Package pkg = new Package();  
            Variables vars = null;  
            VariableDispenser variableDispenser = pkg.VariableDispenser;  
            variableDispenser.LockForRead("System::PackageName");  
            variableDispenser.LockForRead("System::OfflineMode");  
            variableDispenser.GetVariables(ref vars);             
            // Verify that the variable is locked before unlocking.  
            Console.WriteLine("Variables are locked? {0}", vars.Locked);  
            foreach (Variable myVar in vars)  
            {  
                Console.WriteLine("Name        {0}", myVar.Name);  
                Console.WriteLine("Description {0}", myVar.Description);  
                Console.WriteLine();  
            }  
            // Use Contains to determine whether indexing can be used.  
            Boolean pkgName = variableDispenser.Contains("PackageName");  
            String qName = variableDispenser.GetQualifiedName("PackageName");  
            Console.WriteLine("Contains is valid?       {0}", pkgName);  
            Console.WriteLine("Fully qualified name is: {0}", qName);  

            vars.Unlock();  

            Console.WriteLine("Variables are locked? {0}", vars.Locked);  
        }

            Console.WriteLine("Variables are locked? {0}", vars.Locked)  
        End Sub  
    End Class  
End Namespace  

Sample Output:

Variables are locked? True

Name OfflineMode

Description The offline mode currently set for the package

Name PackageName

Description The package name

Contains is valid? True

Fully qualified name is: System::PackageName

Variables are locked? False
