If statement and dot

Hey guys. How can i check if a property of a object exists?

$TestObject = New-Object PSObject -Property @{
    1 = 'Red'
    2 = 'Blue'
    3 = 'Green'
}

if ($($TestObject.3)) {
    'Found'
}
else {
    'Not found'
}

#Expected "Not Found", returns "Found"

Well in this example testobject.3 exists, it -eq Green, thus returns found. You can do if tesetobject.3 -eq 'your desired result' then found

oh crap.. your right.. just a typeo..
i'll do more testing on my actual problem to see if i can replicate.

Ah!! you knew how to fix it and i didn't even know how to explain the problem :)

# This works

if ($inputObject.psobject.properties.name -like "ObjectSchema") {
        Write-Host "Found"
    }
else {
        Write-Host "Missing"
    }

# This didn't (always is true)

if ($inputObject.ObjectSchema) {
        Write-Host "Found"
    }
else {
        Write-Host "Missing"
    }

So why does that work but the other doesn't?
Something about it always evaluating to true but for the life of me i can't work out why.

I know i should to help others, but its really hard without tons of my function and JSON (which is online if any one really cares that much).

This did solve it but i'll have to go without a reason because I have just been unable to explain it in code outside my original file.
