How to find a specific item in a list of objects

Marieke Smit

I have an object that consists of an id and them some more fields. I then have a list of these objects. So given that i have the id, how do I find the specific record in my list and all its associated fields?

Accepted answer
you can linq and find it

for ex:
this is ur class
public class Employee
{
public int Id{get;set;}
public string name{get;set;}
}

And then you create list of employees as below

List Employees = new List();

employees.add(new Employee() {Id=1,name="name1"});
employees.add(new Employee() {Id=2,name="name2"});

then you want to find the employee by name if matches with name1

Employee employee=employees.Find(x=>x.name.contains("name1"));

Hope it clears you
