public:
    virtual bool Contains(Object^ key)
    {
        int index;
        return TryGetIndexOfKey(key, &index);
    }
public bool Contains(object key)
{
   Int32 index;
   return TryGetIndexOfKey(key, out index);
}
Public Function Contains(ByVal key As Object) As Boolean Implements IDictionary.Contains
    Dim index As Integer
    Return TryGetIndexOfKey(key, index)
End Function
