Important

Some information relates to prerelease product that may be substantially modified before it’s released. Microsoft makes no warranties, express or implied, with respect to the information provided here.

Determines whether the DictionaryBase contains a specific key.

 virtual bool System.Collections.IDictionary.Contains(System::Object ^ key) = System::Collections::IDictionary::Contains;

bool IDictionary.Contains (object key);

abstract member System.Collections.IDictionary.Contains : obj -> bool
override this.System.Collections.IDictionary.Contains : obj -> bool

Function Contains (key As Object) As Boolean Implements IDictionary.Contains

Parameters

key: Object

The key to locate in the DictionaryBase.

Returns

Boolean

true if the DictionaryBase contains an element with the specified key; otherwise, false.

Implements

Contains(Object)

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException

key is null.

Examples

The following code example implements the DictionaryBase class and uses that implementation to create a dictionary of String keys and values that have a Length of 5 characters or less.

Remarks

This method is an O(1) operation.

Starting with the .NET Framework 2.0, this method uses the collection's objects' Equals and CompareTo methods on key 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 key parameter on the objects in the collection.
