Public Function ModelExists (
    targetModelId As Identifier,
    <OutAttribute> ByRef isNameMatch As Boolean,
    <OutAttribute> ByRef isIdMatch As Boolean
) As Boolean

Parameters

• targetModelId
  Type: Microsoft.MasterDataServices.Services.DataContracts.Identifier

  The name and/or ID of the model to search for a match.

• isNameMatch
  Type: System.Boolean

  true to a name that passed in, and the name has a match; otherwise, false.

• isIdMatch
  Type: System.Boolean

  true to an ID that passed in, and the ID has a match; otherwise, false.

Return Value

Type: System.Boolean

true if there is a model that matches targetModelId (per rules above); otherwise, false.

Remarks

Note that both of the out parameters can be true and the result false, if the name and ID both match, but they match different models.

ModelExists throws ArgumentNullException if targetModelId is null.

ModelExists throws ArgumentException if neither a name nor an ID was provided. At least one of those must be given.
