- TAlternateKey
The alternate type of a key for performing lookups.
Parameters
The created lookup instance when the method returns true, or a default instance that should not be used if the method returns false.
Returns
true if a lookup could be created; otherwise, false.
Remarks
The dictionary must use a comparer that implements IAlternateEqualityComparer<TAlternate,T> with TAlternateKey and TKey. If it doesn't, the method returns false.
