Gets the value of the specified key.

public:
 bool TryGetValue(TKey key, [Runtime::InteropServices::Out] TValue % value);

public bool TryGetValue (TKey key, out TValue value);

member this.TryGetValue : 'Key * 'Value -> bool

Public Function TryGetValue (key As TKey, ByRef value As TValue) As Boolean

Parameters

key: TKey

The key that represents an object with an attached property.

value: TValue

When this method returns, contains the attached property value. If key is not found, value contains the default value.

Returns

Boolean

true if key is found; otherwise, false.

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException

key is null.

Examples

The following example defines a MainClass class and a MainInfo class, which provides information about the MainClass instance. The example calls the Add, GetOrCreateValue, and GetValue methods to add key/value pairs to a ConditionalWeakTable<TKey,TValue> table. In each case, the example calls the TryGetValue method to confirm that the key/value pair has been added to the table.

Remarks

If the key is garbage-collected during this operation, the method may return false and set value to the default value (as if the key were not present).
