ConditionalWeakTable<TKey, TValue>.GetValue Method

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

Atomically searches for a specified key in the table and returns the corresponding value. If the key does not exist in the table, the method invokes a callback method to create a value that is bound to the specified key.

Namespace:  System.Runtime.CompilerServices
Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
<SecuritySafeCriticalAttribute> _
Public Function GetValue ( _
    key As TKey, _
    createValueCallback As ConditionalWeakTable<(Of <(<'TKey, TValue>)>)>..::..CreateValueCallback _
) As TValue
[SecuritySafeCriticalAttribute]
public TValue GetValue(
    TKey key,
    ConditionalWeakTable<(Of <(<'TKey, TValue>)>)>..::..CreateValueCallback createValueCallback
)

Parameters

  • key
    Type: TKey
    The key to search for. key represents the object to which the property is attached.

Return Value

Type: TValue
The value attached to key, if key already exists in the table; otherwise, the new value returned by the createValueCallback delegate.

Exceptions

Exception Condition
ArgumentNullException

key or createValueCallback is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).

Remarks

If key does not exist in the table, GetValue invokes the method that is defined by the createValueCallback parameter and passes it the key. A new value is bound to the key in the table and returned as a result.

Use this method only when the class that represents the table's value does not define a default constructor. If it does define a default constructor, use the GetOrCreateValue method instead. To retrieve the value of an existing key without adding the key/value pair if the key is not found in the table, call the TryGetValue method.

If multiple threads try to create the same key, createValueCallback may be invoked multiple times with the same key. Only one of these calls will succeed, and its returned value will be added to the table. Which thread succeeds in creating the value is indeterminate. This rule permits the table to invoke createValueCallback outside the internal table lock to prevent deadlocks.

Examples

The following example defines a MainClass class and a MainInfo class, which provides information about the MainClass instance. It also defines a static (Shared in Visual Basic) CreateAttachedValue method that can be assigned to the ConditionalWeakTable<TKey, TValue>.CreateValueCallback delegate and passed to the GetValue method. The example calls the GetValue method to add a MainClass object and its attached MainInfo object to a ConditionalWeakTable<TKey, TValue> table. The example also illustrates calls to the Add and GetOrCreateValue methods to add key/value pairs to the table, and to the TryGetValue method to retrieve the value of an existing key.
