'Usage
Dim instance As ModelReader 
Dim targetModelId As Identifier 
Dim isNameMatch As Boolean 
Dim isIdMatch As Boolean 
Dim returnValue As Boolean 

returnValue = instance.ModelExists(targetModelId, _
    isNameMatch, isIdMatch)
public bool ModelExists(
    Identifier targetModelId,
    out bool isNameMatch,
    out bool isIdMatch
)
public:
bool ModelExists(
    Identifier^ targetModelId, 
    [OutAttribute] bool% isNameMatch, 
    [OutAttribute] bool% isIdMatch
)
member ModelExists : 
        targetModelId:Identifier * 
        isNameMatch:bool byref * 
        isIdMatch:bool byref -> bool
public function ModelExists(
    targetModelId : Identifier, 
    isNameMatch : boolean, 
    isIdMatch : boolean
) : boolean

Parameters

  • isNameMatch
    Type: System.Boolean%
    true to a name that passed in, and the name has a match; otherwise, false.
  • isIdMatch
    Type: System.Boolean%
    true to an ID that passed in, and the ID has a match; otherwise, false.

Return Value

Type: System.Boolean
true if there is a model that matches targetModelId (per rules above); otherwise, false.

Remarks

Note that both of the out parameters can be true and the result false, if the name and ID both match, but they match different models.

ModelExists throws ArgumentNullException if targetModelId is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).

ModelExists throws ArgumentException if neither a name nor an ID was provided. At least one of those must be given.
