.NET Framework Class Library
NameObjectCollectionBase.BaseHasKeys Method
Gets a value indicating whether the NameObjectCollectionBase instance contains entries whose keys are not null.
Assembly: System (in System.dll)
Syntax
Visual Basic
Protected Function BaseHasKeys As Boolean
C#
protected bool BaseHasKeys()
Visual C++
protected: bool BaseHasKeys()
F#
member BaseHasKeys : unit -> bool
Return Value
Type: System.Booleantrue if the NameObjectCollectionBase instance contains entries whose keys are not null; otherwise, false.
Remarks
This method is an O(1) operation.
Examples
The following code example uses BaseHasKeys to determine if the collection contains keys that are not null.
