Syntax

'Declaration
Public Function ModelExists ( _
    targetModelId As Identifier, _
    <OutAttribute> ByRef isNameMatch As Boolean, _
    <OutAttribute> ByRef isIdMatch As Boolean _
) As Boolean
'Usage
Dim instance As ModelReader
Dim targetModelId As Identifier
Dim isNameMatch As Boolean
Dim isIdMatch As Boolean
Dim returnValue As Boolean

returnValue = instance.ModelExists(targetModelId, _
    isNameMatch, isIdMatch)
public bool ModelExists(
    Identifier targetModelId,
    out bool isNameMatch,
    out bool isIdMatch
)
public:
bool ModelExists(
    Identifier^ targetModelId, 
    [OutAttribute] bool% isNameMatch, 
    [OutAttribute] bool% isIdMatch
)
member ModelExists : 
        targetModelId:Identifier * 
        isNameMatch:bool byref * 
        isIdMatch:bool byref -> bool 
public function ModelExists(
    targetModelId : Identifier, 
    isNameMatch : boolean, 
    isIdMatch : boolean
) : boolean

Parameters

  • isNameMatch
    Type: System.Boolean%
    When this method returns, contains true if a name was passed in, and the name has a match; otherwise, false. This parameter is passed uninitialized.
  • isIdMatch
    Type: System.Boolean%
    When this method returns, contains true if an ID was passed in, and the ID has a match; otherwise, false. This parameter is passed uninitialized.

Return Value

Type: System.Boolean
true if there is a model that matches targetModelId (in accordance with the conditions stated above); otherwise, false.

Remarks

Note that both of the out parameters can be true and the result false, if the name and ID both match, but they match different models.

ModelExists throws ArgumentNullException if targetModelId is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).

ModelExists throws ArgumentException if neither a name nor an ID was provided. At least one of those must be given.
