VariableDispenser.Contains(String) Method

Definition

Namespace:

Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime

Assembly:

Microsoft.SqlServer.ManagedDTS.dll

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

Boolean

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.

            VariableDispenser variableDispenser = pkg.VariableDispenser;  
            variableDispenser.LockForRead("System::PackageName");

            variableDispenser.GetVariables(ref vars);

            Boolean pkgName = variableDispenser.Contains("PackageName");

            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
