BaseSet Method (Int32, Object)
.NET Framework Class Library
NameObjectCollectionBase..::.BaseSet Method (Int32, Object)

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

Namespace:  System.Collections.Specialized
Assembly:  System (in System.dll)
Visual Basic (Declaration)
Protected Sub BaseSet ( _
    index As Integer, _
    value As Object _
)
Visual Basic (Usage)
Dim index As Integer
Dim value As Object

Me.BaseSet(index, value)
C#
protected void BaseSet(
    int index,
    Object value
)
Visual C++
protected:
void BaseSet(
    int index, 
    Object^ value
)
JScript
protected function BaseSet(
    index : int, 
    value : Object
)

Parameters

index
Type: System..::.Int32
The zero-based index of the entry to set.
value
Type: System..::.Object
The Object that represents the new value of the entry to set. The value can be nullNothingnullptra null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).
ExceptionCondition
NotSupportedException

The collection is read-only.

ArgumentOutOfRangeException

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

This method is an O(1) operation.

The following code example uses BaseSet to set the value of a specific element.
