- [GetEnumerator](/reference/api/csharp/aspire.hosting/interactioninputcollection/methods.md#getenumerator) : [IEnumerator<InteractionInput>](/reference/api/csharp/aspire.hosting/interactioninput.md) -- Returns an enumerator that iterates through the collection.
- [GetInt32(string)](/reference/api/csharp/aspire.hosting/interactioninputcollection/methods.md#getint32-string) : `int` -- Gets the value of the input with the specified name as a `Int32`.
- [GetString(string)](/reference/api/csharp/aspire.hosting/interactioninputcollection/methods.md#getstring-string) : `string?` -- Gets the value of the input with the specified name as a string.
- [ToArray](/reference/api/csharp/aspire.hosting/interactioninputcollection/methods.md#toarray) : `InteractionInput[]` `ats export` -- Gets all inputs in declaration order.
- [TryGetByName(string, InteractionInput?)](/reference/api/csharp/aspire.hosting/interactioninputcollection/methods.md#trygetbyname-string-interactioninput) : `bool` -- Tries to get an input by its name.

## Indexers

- [this[string]](/reference/api/csharp/aspire.hosting/interactioninputcollection/indexers.md#this-string) : [InteractionInput](/reference/api/csharp/aspire.hosting/interactioninput.md) `get` -- Gets an input by its name.
- [this[int]](/reference/api/csharp/aspire.hosting/interactioninputcollection/indexers.md#this-int) : [InteractionInput](/reference/api/csharp/aspire.hosting/interactioninput.md) `get` -- Gets an input by its index.
