Syntax:

object.Set(key_name,item)

IDL definition:

[id(10), helpstring("method Set")] HRESULT Set([in]
     VARIANT VarKey,[in] VARIANT VarItem,[out,retval] VARIANT* pvarPlace);

Parameters:

object - Previously created VarDictionary object

key_name - expression that can be converted to a string. It becomes the name of the new item.

item - item to set

If the key_name is a string and the name already exists in the collection then the first item with that name will be set to the new value passed in the item parameter. If the key_name is a string, but it is not used in the collection - then new item will be created with the given (by key_name) name. 

If the key_name is a number - it will be treated as an item index. If the item on that index exists it will be set to the new value passed through the item parameter. If the index is out of the current range/not corresponds to an existing item in the collection operation will fail with an error.

Examples:

var item = "My Item";
vardict.Set("Item 3",item);

Dim item
Set item = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
vardict.Add("Item 3",item)

Remarks:

Set method does not depend on the itemsAssignmentAllowed property - i.e. method can be used always in difference to the put form of the Item property.

Applies to: VarDictionary
