ROSLYN.PERFORMANCE.CA1864 : Prefer the 'IDictionary.TryAdd(TKey, TValue)' method (C#)

See Roslyn-Detected C# Warning Classes for more information.

Summary

Prefer a 'TryAdd' call over an 'Add' call guarded by a 'ContainsKey' check. 'TryAdd' behaves the same as 'Add', except that when the specified key already exists, it returns 'false' instead of throwing an exception.

This check corresponds to Roslyn rule CA1864. For full rule details, see the Microsoft website: CA1864.
