Definition

Namespace:

Assembly:

System.Collections.NonGeneric.dll

Source:

Queue.cs

Determines whether an element is in the Queue.

public:
 virtual bool Contains(System::Object ^ obj);

public virtual bool Contains (object? obj);

abstract member Contains : obj -> bool
override this.Contains : obj -> bool

Public Overridable Function Contains (obj As Object) As Boolean

Parameters

obj

Object

The Object to locate in the Queue. The value can be null.

Returns

Boolean

true if obj is found in the Queue; otherwise, false.

Remarks

This method determines equality by calling Object.Equals.

This method performs a linear search; therefore, this method is an O(n) operation, where n is Count.

Starting with the .NET Framework 2.0, this method uses the collection's objects' Equals and CompareTo methods on obj to determine whether item exists. In the earlier versions of the .NET Framework, this determination was made by using the Equals and CompareTo methods of the obj parameter on the objects in the collection.
