Exceptions
| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| ArgumentNullException | key is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic). |
Remarks
Context defined by environmental variables or a load test will override the item returned by this property. So if a Web performance test is running in a load test that contains a context called "myContext", a call to MyWebTestContext.TryGetValue("myContext", MyObject) will return the value for the LoadTestContext.Item("myContext", MyObject).
This is the most efficient way to try to retrieve values if several tried keys are not in the dictionary. This method combines the functionality of the ContainsKey method and the Item property.
If the key is not found, the outvalue parameter receives the appropriate default value: zero for integer types, false for Boolean types, and nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) for reference types.
