Syntax

'Declaration
Private Property Item ( _
    index As Integer _
) As Object Implements IList.Item

Object IList.this[
    int index
] { get; set; }

Parameters

  • index
    Type: System.Int32
    The zero-based index of the element to get or set.

The element at the specified index.

Implements

IList.Item[Int32]

Exceptions

Exception Condition
ArgumentOutOfRangeException

index is not a valid index in the IList.
ArgumentException

The property is set and value is of a type that is not assignable to the IList.

Remarks

The C# language uses the this keyword to define the indexers instead of implementing the IList.Item property. Visual Basic implements IList.Item as a default property, which provides the same indexing functionality.

Retrieving the value of this property is an O(1) operation; setting the property is also an O(1) operation.
