Connections.Contains Method

Returns a Boolean that indicates whether the ConnectionManager items in the collection can be accessed by using indexing without throwing an exception.

Namespace:  Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime
Assembly:  Microsoft.SqlServer.ManagedDTS (in Microsoft.SqlServer.ManagedDTS.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Function Contains ( _
    index As Object _
) As Boolean
'Usage
Dim instance As Connections
Dim index As Object
Dim returnValue As Boolean

returnValue = instance.Contains(index)
public bool Contains(
    Object index
)
public:
bool Contains(
    Object^ index
)
member Contains : 
        index:Object -> bool 
public function Contains(
    index : Object
) : boolean

Parameters

  • index
    Type: System.Object
    The name, description, ID, or index to locate in the collection.

Return Value

Type: System.Boolean
true if the collection can be accessed by using the syntax Connections[index]. If true, the collection can be accessed by name, description, or index. false if indexing cannot be used to retrieve items from the Connections collection.

Examples

The following code sample removes a newly-added ADO.NET connection manager from the collection. It then uses the Contains method to make sure that the connection manager is removed.
