HybridDictionary.Contains Method
Assembly: System (in system.dll)
public final boolean Contains ( Object key )
public final function Contains ( key : Object ) : boolean
Not applicable.
Parameters
- key
The key to locate in the HybridDictionary.
Return Value
true if the HybridDictionary contains an entry with the specified key; otherwise, false.This method is an O(1) operation.
Starting with the .NET Framework 2.0, this method uses the collection’s objects’ Equals and CompareTo methods on item to determine whether item exists. In the earlier versions of the .NET Framework, this determination was made by using the Equals and CompareTo methods of the item parameter on the objects in the collection.
The following code example searches for an element in a HybridDictionary.
#using <System.dll> using namespace System; using namespace System::Collections; using namespace System::Collections::Specialized; void PrintKeysAndValues( IDictionary^ myCol ) { Console::WriteLine( " KEY VALUE" ); IEnumerator^ myEnum = myCol->GetEnumerator(); while ( myEnum->MoveNext() ) { DictionaryEntry de = safe_cast<DictionaryEntry>(myEnum->Current); Console::WriteLine( " {0,-25} {1}", de.Key, de.Value ); } Console::WriteLine(); } int main() { // Creates and initializes a new HybridDictionary. HybridDictionary^ myCol = gcnew HybridDictionary; myCol->Add( "Braeburn Apples", "1.49" ); myCol->Add( "Fuji Apples", "1.29" ); myCol->Add( "Gala Apples", "1.49" ); myCol->Add( "Golden Delicious Apples", "1.29" ); myCol->Add( "Granny Smith Apples", "0.89" ); myCol->Add( "Red Delicious Apples", "0.99" ); myCol->Add( "Plantain Bananas", "1.49" ); myCol->Add( "Yellow Bananas", "0.79" ); myCol->Add( "Strawberries", "3.33" ); myCol->Add( "Cranberries", "5.98" ); myCol->Add( "Navel Oranges", "1.29" ); myCol->Add( "Grapes", "1.99" ); myCol->Add( "Honeydew Melon", "0.59" ); myCol->Add( "Seedless Watermelon", "0.49" ); myCol->Add( "Pineapple", "1.49" ); myCol->Add( "Nectarine", "1.99" ); myCol->Add( "Plums", "1.69" ); myCol->Add( "Peaches", "1.99" ); // Displays the values in the HybridDictionary in three different ways. Console::WriteLine( "Initial contents of the HybridDictionary:" ); PrintKeysAndValues( myCol ); // Searches for a key. if ( myCol->Contains( "Kiwis" ) ) Console::WriteLine( "The collection contains the key \"Kiwis\"." ); else Console::WriteLine( "The collection does not contain the key \"Kiwis\"." ); Console::WriteLine(); } /* This code produces the following output.
