Default Public ReadOnly Property Item(key As String) As StringValues

Parameters

key

String

InvalidOperationException

Remarks

IFormCollection has a different indexer contract than IDictionary<TKey,TValue>, as it will return StringValues.Empty for missing entries rather than throwing an Exception.

This indexer can only be used on POST requests. Otherwise an exception of type InvalidOperationException is thrown.

Invoking this property could result in thread exhaustion since it's wrapping an asynchronous implementation. The HttpRequest.ReadFormAsync(CancellationToken) method can get the form without blocking. For more information, see https://aka.ms/aspnet/forms-async.
