The TryGetValue method lets developers safely retrieve a value from a SqlConnectionStringBuilder without needing to verify that the supplied key name is a valid key name. Because TryGetValue does not raise an exception when you call it, passing in a nonexistent key, you do not have to look for a key before retrieving its value. Calling TryGetValue with a nonexistent key will place the value null (Nothing in Visual Basic) in the value parameter.
The following example demonstrates the behavior of the TryGetValue method.
The sample displays the following results:
Data Source=(local) Trusted_Connection=True Unable to retrieve value for 'InvalidKey' Unable to retrieve value for null key.
