Using the generics Find function

Posted by admin under .NET 2.0

Mostly a matter of knowing the syntax - so little explaination and more code is the concepf of this article.

Consider this:



public class Player	
{
	private Int32 m_lId;
	private String m_strNamn;
	private DateTime m_dtBorn;
}


public class PlayerCollection : System.Collections.Generic.List<Player>
{
}

Now we create the collection and somehow gets the data into it (not shown):



PlayerCollection oColl = new PlayerCollection();
oColl.GetData(...);

And now we want to find the Player with id = 42. 



nId = 42;

Player oPlayer = oColl.Find(delegate(Player oPlayer2) { return  oPlayer2.Id == nId ; } );

if ( oPlayer != null ) 
... found...
