Examples

The following example demonstrates how to use Item[] to index directly into a Lookup<TKey,TElement>. This code example is part of a larger example provided for the Lookup<TKey,TElement> class.

// Select a collection of Packages by indexing directly into the Lookup.
IEnumerable<string> cgroup = lookup['C'];
' Select a collection of Packages by indexing directly into the Lookup.
Dim cgroup As System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable(Of String) = lookup("C"c)

Remarks

This indexed property provides the ability to index a specific collection of values in the Lookup<TKey,TElement> by using the following syntax: myLookup[key] in Visual C# or myLookup(key) in Visual Basic. If the key is not found in the collection, an empty sequence is returned.
