Item Method

Microsoft Visual Basic Constants

Item Method

           

Returns a specific member of a Collection object either by position or by key.

Syntax

object.Item(index)

The Item method syntax has the following object qualifier and part:

Part Description
object Required. An object expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list.
index Required. An expression that specifies the position of a member of the collection. If a numeric expression, index must be a number from 1 to the value of the collection's Count property. If a string expression, index must correspond to the key argument specified when the member referred to was added to the collection.

Remarks

If the value provided as index doesn’t match any existing member of the collection, an error occurs.

The Item method is the default method for a collection. Therefore, the following lines of code are equivalent:

Print MyCollection(1)
Print MyCollection.Item(1)
