BaseGet(Int32)

Source:

NameObjectCollectionBase.cs

Gets the value of the entry at the specified index of the NameObjectCollectionBase instance.

protected:
 System::Object ^ BaseGet(int index);

protected object? BaseGet (int index);

member this.BaseGet : int -> obj

Protected Function BaseGet (index As Integer) As Object

Parameters

index

Int32

The zero-based index of the value to get.

Returns

Object

An Object that represents the value of the entry at the specified index.

Exceptions

ArgumentOutOfRangeException

index is outside the valid range of indexes for the collection.

Remarks

This method is an O(1) operation.

BaseGet(String)

Source:

NameObjectCollectionBase.cs

Gets the value of the first entry with the specified key from the NameObjectCollectionBase instance.

protected:
 System::Object ^ BaseGet(System::String ^ name);

protected object? BaseGet (string? name);

member this.BaseGet : string -> obj

Protected Function BaseGet (name As String) As Object

Parameters

name

String

The String key of the entry to get. The key can be null.

Returns

Object

An Object that represents the value of the first entry with the specified key, if found; otherwise, null.

Remarks

If the collection contains multiple entries with the specified key, this method returns only the first entry. To get the values of subsequent entries with the same key, use the enumerator to iterate through the collection and compare the keys.

Caution

This method returns null in the following cases: 1) if the specified key is not found; and 2) if the specified key is found and its associated value is null. This method does not distinguish between the two cases.

This method is an O(1) operation.
