Remarks

The ArrayList is searched backward starting at the last element and ending at the first element.

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

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.

Remarks

The ArrayList is searched backward starting at startIndex and ending at the first element.

This method performs a linear search; therefore, this method is an O(n) operation, where n is the number of elements from the beginning of the ArrayList to startIndex.

This method determines equality by calling Object.Equals.

LastIndexOf(Object, Int32, Int32)

Source:: ArrayList.cs

Source:: ArrayList.cs

Source:: ArrayList.cs

Searches for the specified Object and returns the zero-based index of the last occurrence within the range of elements in the ArrayList that contains the specified number of elements and ends at the specified index.

public virtual int LastIndexOf (object value, int startIndex, int count);

abstract member LastIndexOf : obj * int * int -> int

Public Overridable Function LastIndexOf (value As Object, startIndex As Integer, count As Integer) As Integer

Parameters

value: Object

The Object to locate in the ArrayList. The value can be null.

startIndex: Int32

The zero-based starting index of the backward search.

count: Int32

The number of elements in the section to search.

Returns

Int32

The zero-based index of the last occurrence of value within the range of elements in the ArrayList that contains count number of elements and ends at startIndex, if found; otherwise, -1.

Exceptions

ArgumentOutOfRangeException

startIndex is outside the range of valid indexes for the ArrayList.

-or-

count is less than zero.

-or-

startIndex and count do not specify a valid section in the ArrayList.

Examples

The following code example shows how to determine the index of the last occurrence of a specified element. Note that LastIndexOf is a backward search; therefore, count must be less than or equal to startIndex + 1.

Remarks

The ArrayList is searched backward starting at startIndex and ending at startIndex minus count plus 1, if count is greater than 0.

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.
