Returns the zero-based index of the first occurrence of a value in the ArrayList or in a portion of it.
Overloads
| IndexOf(Object) |
Searches for the specified Object and returns the zero-based index of the first occurrence within the entire ArrayList. |
| IndexOf(Object, Int32) |
Searches for the specified Object and returns the zero-based index of the first occurrence within the range of elements in the ArrayList that extends from the specified index to the last element. |
| IndexOf(Object, Int32, Int32) |
Searches for the specified Object and returns the zero-based index of the first occurrence within the range of elements in the ArrayList that starts at the specified index and contains the specified number of elements. |

Remarks
The ArrayList is searched forward starting at the first element and ending at the last element.
This method performs a linear search; therefore, this method is an O(n) operation, where n is Count.
This method determines equality by calling Object.Equals.
Starting with the .NET Framework 2.0, this method uses the collection's objects' Equals and CompareTo methods on item to determine whether item exists. In the earlier versions of the .NET Framework, this determination was made by using the Equals and CompareTo methods of the item parameter on the objects in the collection.
