) As Boolean Implements ICollection(Of KeyValuePair(Of TKey, TValue)).Remove
'Usage
Dim instance As SortedList(Of TKey, TValue)
Dim keyValuePair As KeyValuePair(Of TKey, TValue)
Dim returnValue As Boolean

returnValue = CType(instance, ICollection(Of KeyValuePair(Of TKey, TValue))).Remove(keyValuePair)

    KeyValuePair<TKey,TValue> keyValuePair
)

J# supports the use of explicit interface implementations, but not the declaration of new ones.

JScript supports the use of explicit interface implementations, but not the declarations of new ones.

Parameters

• keyValuePair
  The KeyValuePair to remove from the ICollection.

Return Value

true if keyValuePair was successfully removed from the ICollection; otherwise, false. This method also returns false if keyValuePair was not found in the original ICollection.

Remarks

This method determines equality using the default comparer Comparer.Default for System.Collections.Generic.KeyValuePair.

This method performs a binary search; however, the elements are moved up to fill in the open spot, so this method is an O(n) operation, where n is Count.
