Retrieves a value corresponding to the supplied key from this OracleConnectionStringBuilder.

public:
 override bool TryGetValue(System::String ^ keyword, [Runtime::InteropServices::Out] System::Object ^ % value);

public override bool TryGetValue (string keyword, out object value);

override this.TryGetValue : string * obj -> bool

Public Overrides Function TryGetValue (keyword As String, ByRef value As Object) As Boolean

Parameters

keyword: String

The key of the item to retrieve.

value: Object

The value corresponding to keyword.

Returns

Boolean

true if keyword was found within the connection string; otherwise, false.

Examples

The following example demonstrates the behavior of the TryGetValue method.

// You may need to set a reference to the System.Data.OracleClient
// assembly before you can run this sample.
using System.Data.OracleClient;

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        OracleConnectionStringBuilder builder = new OracleConnectionStringBuilder();
        builder.ConnectionString = GetConnectionString();

        // Call TryGetValue method for multiple
        // key names. Note that these keys are converted
        // to well-known synonynms for data retrieval.
        DisplayValue(builder, "Data Source");
        DisplayValue(builder, "Trusted_Connection");
        DisplayValue(builder, "InvalidKey");
        DisplayValue(builder, null);

        Console.WriteLine("Press any key to continue.");
        Console.ReadLine();
    }

    private static void DisplayValue(OracleConnectionStringBuilder builder, string key)
    {
        object value = null;

        // Although TryGetValue handles missing keys,
        // it does not handle passing in a null
        // key. This example traps for that particular error, but
        // passes any other unknown exceptions back out to the
        // caller.
        try
        {
            if (builder.TryGetValue(key, out value))
            {
                Console.WriteLine("{0}='{1}'", key, value);
            }
            else
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Unable to retrieve value for '{0}'", key);
            }
        }
        catch (ArgumentNullException)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Unable to retrieve value for null key.");
        }
    }

    private static string GetConnectionString()
    {
        // To avoid storing the connection string in your code,
        // you can retrieve it from a configuration file.
        return "Server=OracleDemo;Integrated Security=True";
    }
}

Module Module1
    Sub Main()
        Dim builder As New OracleConnectionStringBuilder()
        builder.ConnectionString = GetConnectionString()

            End If
        Catch ex As ArgumentNullException
            Console.WriteLine("Unable to retrieve value for null key.")
        End Try
    End Sub

    Private Function GetConnectionString() As String
        ' To avoid storing the connection string in your code,
        ' you can retrieve it from a configuration file.

    End Function
End Module

Remarks

The TryGetValue method lets developers safely retrieve a value from an OracleConnectionStringBuilder without needing to verify that the supplied key name is a valid key name. Because TryGetValue gracefully handles searching for a non-existent key, there is no need to look for the existence of a key before retrieving its value. Calling TryGetValue with a nonexistent key will place the value null (Nothing in Visual Basic) in the value parameter.
