No code example is currently available or this language may not be supported.

Parameters

key
Type: TKey
The key of the element to remove.

Return Value

Type: System::Boolean
true if the element is successfully removed; otherwise, false. This method also returns false if key was not found in the original IDictionary<TKey, TValue>.

Implementations can vary in how they determine equality of objects; for example, the List<T> class uses Comparer<T>::Default, whereas the Dictionary<TKey, TValue> class allows the user to specify the IComparer<T> implementation to use for comparing keys.

The following code example shows how to remove a key/value pair from a dictionary using the Remove method.

This code is part of a larger example that can be compiled and executed. See System.Collections.Generic::IDictionary<TKey, TValue>.
