Gets an ExtendedProperty object from the collection.

public:
 property Microsoft::SqlServer::Dts::Runtime::ExtendedProperty ^ default[System::Object ^] { Microsoft::SqlServer::Dts::Runtime::ExtendedProperty ^ get(System::Object ^ index); };

public Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.ExtendedProperty this[object index] { get; }

member this.Item(obj) : Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.ExtendedProperty

Default Public ReadOnly Property Item(index As Object) As ExtendedProperty

Parameters

index: Object

The name, description, ID, or index of the ExtendedProperty object to return.

Property Value

ExtendedProperty

An ExtendedProperty object from the collection.

Examples

The following code sample retrieves an item from the collection using two methods. The first method uses the myExtProps[0] syntax to retrieve the entire object located in the first position of the collection and place it in the myExtProp object. You can now retrieve all properties from the myExtProp object as usual. The second method demonstrates how to retrieve a specific property, DataType, from the first object in the collection.

    End Class  
End Namespace

Sample Output:

The ID of the first item is: {F3B7314E-DB1E-4CCA-A856-2E617A1B3265}

The DataType of the first item is: String

Remarks

If the call to the Contains method returns true, you can access the specified element in the collection by using the syntax ExtendedProperties[index]. However, if the Contains method returns false, this property throws an exception. In C#, this property is the indexer for the ExtendedProperties class.
