Namespace:  Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime
Assembly:  Microsoft.SqlServer.ManagedDTS (in Microsoft.SqlServer.ManagedDTS.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Function Contains ( _
    variable As String _
) As Boolean
'Usage
Dim instance As VariableDispenser 
Dim variable As String 
Dim returnValue As Boolean 

returnValue = instance.Contains(variable)

public bool Contains(
    string variable
)

public:
bool Contains(
    String^ variable
)

member Contains : 
        variable:string -> bool

public function Contains(
    variable : String
) : boolean

Parameters

Return Value

Type: System.Boolean
true indicates that the syntax VariableDispenser[x] can be used without throwing an exception. A value of false indicates that indexing cannot be used to retrieve items from the collection.

Examples

The following code example creates a VariableDispenser and uses the Contains method to return a Boolean to determine whether indexing syntax can be used on the collection.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime;

namespace Microsoft.SqlServer.SSIS.Sample
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Package pkg = new Package();
            Variables vars = null;
            VariableDispenser variableDispenser = pkg.VariableDispenser;
            variableDispenser.LockForRead("System::PackageName");
            variableDispenser.LockForRead("System::OfflineMode");
            variableDispenser.GetVariables(ref vars);           
            // Verify that the variable is locked before unlocking.
            Console.WriteLine("Variables are locked? {0}", vars.Locked);
            foreach (Variable myVar in vars)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Name        {0}", myVar.Name);
                Console.WriteLine("Description {0}", myVar.Description);
                Console.WriteLine();
            }
            // Use Contains to determine whether indexing can be used.
            Boolean pkgName = variableDispenser.Contains("PackageName");
            String qName = variableDispenser.GetQualifiedName("PackageName");
            Console.WriteLine("Contains is valid?       {0}", pkgName);
            Console.WriteLine("Fully qualified name is: {0}", qName);

            vars.Unlock();

            Console.WriteLine("Variables are locked? {0}", vars.Locked);
        }
    }
}

            Dim myVar As Variable
            For Each myVar In vars
                Console.WriteLine("Name        {0}", myVar.Name)
                Console.WriteLine("Description {0}", myVar.Description)
                Console.WriteLine()
            Next
            ' Use Contains to determine whether indexing can be used.
            Dim pkgName As Boolean =  variableDispenser.Contains("PackageName") 
            Dim qName As String =  variableDispenser.GetQualifiedName("PackageName") 
            Console.WriteLine("Contains is valid?       {0}", pkgName)
            Console.WriteLine("Fully qualified name is: {0}", qName)

            vars.Unlock()

            Console.WriteLine("Variables are locked? {0}", vars.Locked)
        End Sub
    End Class
End Namespace

Sample Output:

Variables are locked? True

Name OfflineMode

Description The offline mode currently set for the package

Name PackageName

Description The package name

Contains is valid? True

Fully qualified name is: System::PackageName

Variables are locked? False
