Remarks

This method determines equality using the default comparer EqualityComparer<T>.Default.

This method performs a linear search; therefore, this method is an O(n) operation, where n is Count.

This member is an explicit interface member implementation. It can be used only when the ReadOnlyCollection<T> instance is cast to an IList interface.
