; otherwise, false
.
Examples
The following code example shows how to determine whether a SortedList object contains a specific element.
#using <system.dll>
using namespace System;
using namespace System::Collections;
void PrintIndexAndKeysAndValues( SortedList^ myList )
{
Console::WriteLine( "\t-INDEX-\t-KEY-\t-VALUE-" );
for ( int i = 0; i < myList->Count; i++ )
{
Console::WriteLine( "\t[{0}]:\t{1}\t{2}", i, myList->GetKey( i ), myList->GetByIndex( i ) );
}
Console::WriteLine();
}
int main()
{
// Creates and initializes a new SortedList.
SortedList^ mySL = gcnew SortedList;
mySL->Add( 2, "two" );
mySL->Add( 4, "four" );
mySL->Add( 1, "one" );
mySL->Add( 3, "three" );
mySL->Add( (int^)0, "zero" );
// Displays the values of the SortedList.
Console::WriteLine( "The SortedList contains the following values:" );
PrintIndexAndKeysAndValues( mySL );
// Searches for a specific key.
int myKey = 2;
Console::WriteLine( "The key \"{0}\" is {1}.", myKey, mySL->ContainsKey( myKey ) ? (String^)"in the SortedList" : "NOT in the SortedList" );
myKey = 6;
Console::WriteLine( "The key \"{0}\" is {1}.", myKey, mySL->ContainsKey( myKey ) ? (String^)"in the SortedList" : "NOT in the SortedList" );
// Searches for a specific value.
String^ myValue = "three";
Console::WriteLine( "The value \"{0}\" is {1}.", myValue, mySL->ContainsValue( myValue ) ? (String^)"in the SortedList" : "NOT in the SortedList" );
myValue = "nine";
Console::WriteLine( "The value \"{0}\" is {1}.", myValue, mySL->ContainsValue( myValue ) ? (String^)"in the SortedList" : "NOT in the SortedList" );
}

Remarks
The values of the elements of the SortedList object are compared to the specified value using the Equals method.
This method performs a linear search; therefore, the average execution time is proportional to Count. That is, 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 item
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 item
parameter on the objects in the collection.
