Property Value

Type: System.Collections.Specialized::IOrderedDictionary
An IOrderedDictionary that contains an ordered dictionary of key field name/value pairs used to match the item to delete.

Use the Keys property to access the values of the key field or fields for the record to be deleted. For example, you can use these values to verify the record before deleting it, to change the record to delete, or to keep a log of deleted records.

NoteNote

This property contains only the key fields. To access the name/value pair values for the non-key fields, use the Values property.

The Keys property returns an object that implements the IOrderedDictionary interface. The object contains DictionaryEntry objects that represent the key fields.

NoteNote

As a shortcut, you can also use the indexer of the IOrderedDictionary object to access the key field values. The advantage in using the indexer is that it returns key field values directly.

This property is read-only; however, you can modify the key field values of the IOrderedDictionary object it returns. If you change the key field values, the corresponding record is be deleted from the data source.

The following code example demonstrates how to use the Keys property to access the value of the key field for the record being deleted.
