Provides the implementation for operations that set a value by index. Classes derived from the DynamicObject class can override this method to specify dynamic behavior for operations that access objects by a specified index.
public:
virtual bool TrySetIndex(System::Dynamic::SetIndexBinder ^ binder, cli::array <System::Object ^> ^ indexes, System::Object ^ value);
public virtual bool TrySetIndex(System.Dynamic.SetIndexBinder binder, object[] indexes, object value);
public virtual bool TrySetIndex(System.Dynamic.SetIndexBinder binder, object[] indexes, object? value);
abstract member TrySetIndex : System.Dynamic.SetIndexBinder * obj[] * obj -> bool
override this.TrySetIndex : System.Dynamic.SetIndexBinder * obj[] * obj -> bool
Public Overridable Function TrySetIndex (binder As SetIndexBinder, indexes As Object(), value As Object) As Boolean
Parameters
The indexes that are used in the operation. For example, for the sampleObject[3] = 10
operation in C# (sampleObject(3) = 10
in Visual Basic), where sampleObject
is derived from the DynamicObject class, indexes[0]
is equal to 3.
The value to set to the object that has the specified index. For example, for the sampleObject[3] = 10
operation in C# (sampleObject(3) = 10
in Visual Basic), where sampleObject
is derived from the DynamicObject class, value
is equal to 10.
true
if the operation is successful; otherwise, false
. If this method returns false
, the run-time binder of the language determines the behavior. (In most cases, a language-specific run-time exception is thrown.
Assume that you want to create an object in which properties can be accessed either by names such as Property0
, Property1
, and so on, or by index, so that, for example, sampleObject.Property0
is equivalent to sampleObject[0]
in C# or sampleObject(0)
in Visual Basic.
The following code example demonstrates the SampleDynamicObject
class, which is derived from the DynamicObject class. The SampleDynamicObject
class contains an object of the Dictionary<string, object>
type (Dictionary(Of String, Object)
in Visual Basic) to store the key-value pairs. SampleDynamicObject
overrides the TrySetIndex and TryGetIndex methods to enable access by index. It overrides the TrySetMember and TryGetMember methods to enable access by property name.
// The class derived from DynamicObject.
public class SampleDynamicObject : DynamicObject
{
// The inner dictionary to store field names and values.
Dictionary<string, object> dictionary
= new Dictionary<string, object>();
// Get the property value.
public override bool TryGetMember(
GetMemberBinder binder, out object result)
{
return dictionary.TryGetValue(binder.Name, out result);
}
// Set the property value.
public override bool TrySetMember(
SetMemberBinder binder, object value)
{
dictionary[binder.Name] = value;
return true;
}
// Set the property value by index.
public override bool TrySetIndex(
SetIndexBinder binder, object[] indexes, object value)
{
int index = (int)indexes[0];
// If a corresponding property already exists, set the value.
if (dictionary.ContainsKey("Property" + index))
dictionary["Property" + index] = value;
else
// If a corresponding property does not exist, create it.
dictionary.Add("Property" + index, value);
return true;
}
// Get the property value by index.
public override bool TryGetIndex(
GetIndexBinder binder, object[] indexes, out object result)
{
int index = (int)indexes[0];
return dictionary.TryGetValue("Property" + index, out result);
}
}
class Program
{
static void Test(string[] args)
{
// Creating a dynamic object.

// Creating Property0.
// The TrySetMember method is called.
sampleObject.Property0 = "Zero";
// Getting the value by index.
// The TryGetIndex method is called.
Console.WriteLine(sampleObject[0]);
// Setting the property value by index.
// The TrySetIndex method is called.
// (This method also creates Property1.)
sampleObject[1] = 1;
// Getting the Property1 value.
// The TryGetMember method is called.
Console.WriteLine(sampleObject.Property1);
// The following statement produces a run-time exception
// because there is no corresponding property.
//Console.WriteLine(sampleObject[2]);
}
}
// This code example produces the following output:
// Zero
// 1

Remarks
Classes derived from the DynamicObject class can override this method to specify how operations that access an object by index should be performed for a dynamic object. When the method is not overridden, the run-time binder of the language determines the behavior. (In most cases, a language-specific run-time exception is thrown.)
If this method is overridden, it is automatically invoked when you have an operation like sampleObject[3] = 10
in C# or sampleObject(3) = 10
in Visual Basic, where sampleObject
is derived from the DynamicObject class.
