Public Overrides Function TryGetValue(
    ByVal keyword As String,
    ByVal value As Object
) As Boolean

public override bool TryGetValue(string keyword, out Object value)

True if keyword was found within the connection string, false otherwise.

The TryGetValue method lets developers safely retrieve a value from a ULConnectionStringBuilder without needing to first call the ContainsKey method. Because the TryGetValue method does not raise an exception when you call it, passing in a nonexistent key, you do not have to look for a key before retrieving its value. Calling TryGetValue with a nonexistent key places the null value (Nothing in Visual Basic) in the value parameter.
