EntityConnectionStringBuilder.TryGetValue(String, Object) Method

Definition

Retrieves a value corresponding to the supplied key from this EntityConnectionStringBuilder.

public:
 override bool TryGetValue(System::String ^ keyword, [Runtime::InteropServices::Out] System::Object ^ % value);
public override bool TryGetValue (string keyword, out object value);
override this.TryGetValue : string * obj -> bool
Public Overrides Function TryGetValue (keyword As String, ByRef value As Object) As Boolean

Parameters

keyword
String

The key of the item to retrieve.

value
Object

The value corresponding to keyword.

Returns

true if keyword was found in the connection string; otherwise, false.

Exceptions

keyword contains a null value (Nothing in Visual Basic).

Remarks

The TryGetValue method lets developers safely retrieve a value from a EntityConnectionStringBuilder without having to verify that the supplied key name is a valid key name. TryGetValue does not raise an exception when it is passed a nonexistent key. Calling TryGetValue with a nonexistent key puts the value null (Nothing in Visual Basic) in the value parameter.
