Hi all

If I want to get a PIPoint I use the code:

PISDK.PIPoint pnt = _server.PIPoints[tagName];

If the tag name does not exist an exception is raised. I would like to avoid getting an exception raised if possible with something like the .NET dictionary uses:

if (_server.TryGetValue(tagName, out pnt))
// Process

or

if (_server.Contains(tagName))
pnt = _server.PIPoints[tagName];
// Process

These methods are not supported by the PIPoint collection, so is there any other way? I tried the PointLoaded method but this appears to not work (or it may be for something else entirely... PI help does not have a reference to it)

Cheers,

John
