Namespace:  System.Collections.Generic
Assembly:  System (in System.dll)

Syntax

Private Function Contains ( _
    item As TValue _
) As Boolean Implements ICollection(Of TValue).Contains
bool ICollection<TValue>.Contains(
    TValue item
)

Parameters

Return Value

Type: System..::.Boolean
true if item is found in the ICollection<(Of <(T>)>); otherwise, false.

Implements

ICollection<(Of <(T>)>)..::.Contains(T)

Remarks

Implementations can vary in how they determine equality of objects; for example, List<(Of <(T>)>) uses Comparer<(Of <(T>)>)..::.Default, whereas SortedDictionary<(Of <(TKey, TValue>)>) allows the user to specify the IComparer<(Of <(T>)>) implementation to use for comparing keys.

This method is an O(n) operation, where n is Count.
