Retrieves a value corresponding to the supplied key from this OdbcConnectionStringBuilder.

public:
 override bool TryGetValue(System::String ^ keyword, [Runtime::InteropServices::Out] System::Object ^ % value);
public override bool TryGetValue (string keyword, out object? value);
public override bool TryGetValue (string keyword, out object value);
override this.TryGetValue : string * obj -> bool
Public Overrides Function TryGetValue (keyword As String, ByRef value As Object) As Boolean

Parameters

keyword
String

The key of the item to retrieve.

value
Object

The value corresponding to keyword.

Returns

Boolean

true if keyword was found within the connection string; otherwise false.

Examples

The following example demonstrates the behavior of the TryGetValue method.

using System.Data.Odbc;

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        OdbcConnectionStringBuilder builder =
            new OdbcConnectionStringBuilder();
        builder.ConnectionString = GetConnectionString();

        // Call TryGetValue method for multiple
        // key names. Demonstrate that the search is not
        // case sensitive.
        DisplayValue(builder, "Driver");
        DisplayValue(builder, "SERVER");
        // How about a property you did not set?
        DisplayValue(builder, "DNS");
        // Invalid keys?
        DisplayValue(builder, "Invalid Key");
        // Null values?
        DisplayValue(builder, null);

        Console.WriteLine("Press any key to continue.");
        Console.ReadLine();
    }

    private static string GetConnectionString()
    {
        // To avoid storing the connection string in your code,
        // you can retrieve it from a configuration file using the
        // System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings property.
        return "Driver={SQL Server};Server=(local);" +
            "Database=AdventureWorks;Trusted_Connection=yes;";
    }

    private static void DisplayValue(OdbcConnectionStringBuilder builder, string key)
    {
        object value = null;

        // Although TryGetValue handles missing keys,
        // it does not handle passing in a null (Nothing in Visual Basic)
        // key. This example traps for that particular error, but
        // throws any other unknown exceptions back out to the
        // caller.
        try
        {
            if (builder.TryGetValue(key, out value))
            {
                Console.WriteLine("{0}='{1}'", key, value);
            }
            else
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Unable to retrieve value for '{0}'", key);
            }
        }
        catch (ArgumentNullException ex)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Unable to retrieve value for null key.");
        }
    }
}

Imports System.Data.Odbc
    
Module Module1

  Sub Main()
    Dim builder As New OdbcConnectionStringBuilder
    builder.ConnectionString = GetConnectionString()

    ' Call TryGetValue method for multiple
    ' key names. Demonstrate that the search is not
    ' case sensitive.
    DisplayValue(builder, "Driver")
    DisplayValue(builder, "SERVER")
    ' How about a property you did not set?
    DisplayValue(builder, "DNS")
    ' Invalid keys?
    DisplayValue(builder, "Invalid Key")
    ' Null values?
    DisplayValue(builder, Nothing)

    Console.WriteLine("Press any key to continue.")
    Console.ReadLine()
  End Sub

  Private Sub DisplayValue( _
   ByVal builder As OdbcConnectionStringBuilder, ByVal key As String)
    Dim value As Object = Nothing

    ' Although TryGetValue handles missing keys,
    ' it does not handle passing in a null (Nothing in Visual Basic)
    ' key. This example traps for that particular error, but
    ' throws any other unknown exceptions back out to the
    ' caller. 
    Try
      If builder.TryGetValue(key, value) Then
        Console.WriteLine("{0}='{1}'", key, value)
      Else
        Console.WriteLine("Unable to retrieve value for '{0}'", key)
      End If
    Catch ex As ArgumentNullException
      Console.WriteLine("Unable to retrieve value for null key.")
    End Try
  End Sub

  Private Function GetConnectionString() As String
    ' To avoid storing the connection string in your code,
    ' you can retrieve it from a configuration file using the 
    ' System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings property. 
    Return "Driver={SQL Server};Server=(local);" & _
      "Database=AdventureWorks;Trusted_Connection=yes;"
  End Function
End Module

Remarks

The TryGetValue method lets developers safely retrieve a value from a OdbcConnectionStringBuilder without needing to verify that the supplied key name is a valid key name. Because TryGetValue does not raise an exception when you pass in a nonexistent key, you do not have to look for a key before retrieving its value. Calling TryGetValue with a nonexistent key places the value null (Nothing in Visual Basic) in the value parameter.
