Question

I have a List<CustomClass> listOfCustomClass.

CustomClass is defined as follows :

public class CustomClass {
   public name;
}

I want to search my List for a CustomClass of name “foo” and return a reference to this class. How can I do this ? The following is what I have attempted, however it returns “null”.

CustomcClass class = listOfCustomClass.Find(delegate(CustomClass  findClass) {return findClass.name=="foo"; });

Answer 1

Use a linq query…

var customClass = listOfCustomClass.Where(c => c.name == "foo").SingleOrDefault();
