[Visual Basic]
Overridable Public Function IndexOfKey( _
   ByVal key As Object _
) As Integer
[C#]
public virtual int IndexOfKey(
   object key
);
[C++]
public: virtual int IndexOfKey(
   Object* key
);
[JScript]
public function IndexOfKey(
   key : Object
) : int;

Parameters

key

Return Value

The index of key, if key is found in the SortedList; otherwise,-1.

Exceptions

Exception Type Condition
ArgumentNullException key is a null reference (in Visual Basic Nothing).

This method can be overridden by a derived class.

This method uses a binary search algorithm; therefore, the average execution time is proportional to Log2 (size), where size is the size of the SortedList.
