VBScript to check if a property exists on an object

Question

Hi, I want to check if a property exists on a document, and if it's blank To find if the property is blank, then I can do something like this: 
 If Vault.ObjectPropertyOperations.GetProperty(ObjVer, pStatusCode).TypedValue.IsNull Then Or If PropertyValues.SearchForProperty(pStatusCode).TypedValue.IsNULL() Then 
 Or if i have the value, then If IsNull(szStatusCode) Then Or If szStatusCode = "" Then 
 
 However, these will all fail if the property doesn't exist on the object at all How can I check if a property is on an object? 
 
 Many thanks

I tend to like "indexof", personally. Something like: 
 Dim pStatusCodeIndex
pStatusCodeIndex = PropertyValues.IndexOf(pStatusCode)

If pStatusCodeIndex = -1 Then
 ' Property not on this object
Else
 ' Property is on this object
End If 
 Note that the above does not deal with the situation where the property definition exists but has no value; this is simply to check whether the property values collection contains an entry for the definition or not.
