Description

Description

Currently IPreferences allows checking if the property exists via ContainsKey(string key) method but it would be nice if it had a TryGetValue<T>(string propertyName, out T value)

Public API Changes

Public TryGetValue<T>(string propertyName, out T value) would be added to the IPreferences interface.

Intended Use-Case

More concise code.

Contributor guide
