    Console.WriteLine("Contents of the DbConnectionStringBuilder:");
    Console.WriteLine(builder.ConnectionString);

    // Searches for a key.
    if (builder.ContainsKey("Data Source"))
    {
        Console.WriteLine("The collection contains the key \"Data Source\".");

Sub Main()
    ' The following code example searches for an element in a 
    ' DbConnectionStringBuilder.
    Dim builder As New DbConnectionStringBuilder
    builder.Add("Provider", "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0")
    builder.Add("Data Source", "C:\ThisExcelWorkbook.xls")
    builder.Add("Extended Properties", "Excel 8.0;HDR=Yes;IMEX=1")

    ' Displays the values in the DbConnectionStringBuilder.
    Console.WriteLine("Contents of the DbConnectionStringBuilder:")
    Console.WriteLine(builder.ConnectionString)

    ' Searches for a key.
    If builder.ContainsKey("Data Source") Then
        Console.WriteLine("The collection contains the key ""Data Source"".")
    Else
        Console.WriteLine("The collection does not contain the key ""Data Source"".")
