Collection<T>.IndexOf(T) Method

Definition

Searches for the specified object and returns the zero-based index of the first occurrence within the entire Collection<T>.

public:
 virtual int IndexOf(T item);
public int IndexOf (T item);
abstract member IndexOf : 'T -> int
override this.IndexOf : 'T -> int
Public Function IndexOf (item As T) As Integer

Parameters

item
T

The object to locate in the Collection<T>. The value can be null for reference types.

Returns

The zero-based index of the first occurrence of item within the entire Collection<T>, if found; otherwise, -1.

Implements

Examples

The following code example demonstrates many of the properties and methods of Collection<T>. The code example creates a collection of strings, uses the Add method to add several strings, displays the Count, and lists the strings. The example uses the IndexOf method to find the index of a string and the Contains method to determine whether a string is in the collection. The example inserts a string using the Insert method and retrieves and sets strings using the default Item[] property (the indexer in C#). The example removes strings by string identity using the Remove method and by index using the RemoveAt method. Finally, the Clear method is used to clear all strings from the collection.

Remarks

The Collection<T> is searched forward starting at the first element and ending at the last element.

This method determines equality using the default equality comparer EqualityComparer<T>.Default for T, the type of values in the list.

This method performs a linear search; therefore, the average execution time is proportional to Count. That is, this method is an O(n) operation, where n is Count.
