Question

I have this code:

List<Visibility> ListVisibility = new List<Visibility>();
    public class Visibility
    {
        public int ShpNo;
        public int QtyShp;
        public int NumPallets;
        public string ETA;            
    }

Visibility item = ListVisibility.Find(VisibItem => VisibItem.ETA == e.Day.Date.ToShortDateString());

But the above Find is not returning any Item, when there is an item that matches that condition.

What could be wrong here?

Answer 1

Most likely string match does not find a match. Change code to compare dates as Date portions of DateTime and it will have better chance to work.

item => DateTime.Parse(item.ETA).Date == e.Day.Date

Sample is assuming e.Day is DateTime. Also you may need to handle “item.ETA is not valid date/empty” case (i.e. by using DateTime.TryParse) to match original behavior.
