DataTypeInfos.Contains(Object) Method

Definition

Returns a Boolean that indicates whether the items in the collection can be accessed using indexing without throwing an exception.

public:
 bool Contains(System::Object ^ index);
public bool Contains (object index);
member this.Contains : obj -> bool
Public Function Contains (index As Object) As Boolean

Parameters

index
Object

The index of the item to locate in the collection.

Returns

A Boolean that indicates whether the collection can be accessed by index. A value of true indicates that the collection can be accessed using the syntax DataTypeInfos[index]. A value of false indicates that indexing cannot be used to retrieve items from the DataTypeInfos collection.

Examples

The following example uses the Contains method to see how many items are in the collection.
