Item Property (Compressors)

Gets the Compressor item at the specified index.

Overload List

Overload	Description
Item(Int32)	Gets the Compressor item at the specified index.
Item(String)	Gets the Compressor item with the specified name.

Exceptions

Exception	Description
System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException	The exception that is thrown when the value of an argument is outside the allowable range of values as defined by the invoked method.

Remarks

This property provides the ability to access a specific item in the collection by using the following syntax: myCollection[index]. The C# language uses the this keyword to define the indexers instead of implementing the Item property. Visual Basic implements Item as a default property, which provides the same indexing functionality.

Example

Visual Basic
C#
WinRT C#
WinRT JavaScript
Silverlight C#
Silverlight VB
