Consider the following example:
| Before: |
public string this[short number]
{
get
{
string projectId;
if (myDictionary.TryGetValue(number, out projectId))
return projectId;
else
return null;
}
set
{
myDictionary.Add(number, value);
}
}
|
| After: |
public void SetItem(short number, string value)
{
myDictionary.Add(number, value);
}
public string GetItem(short number)
{
string projectId;
if (myDictionary.TryGetValue(number, out projectId))
return projectId;
else
return null;
}
