Searches for an element that matches the conditions defined by the specified predicate, and returns the first occurrence within the entire List.
public T Find (Predicate<T> match)
Parameters
- match
- The predicate delegate that specifies the element to search for.
Returns
The first element that matches the conditions defined by the specified predicate, if found; otherwise, the default value for type T.
Exceptions
Type Reason ArgumentNullException match is null.
Remarks
The predicate is a delegate that returns true if the object passed to it matches the conditions defined in the delegate. The elements of the current List are individually passed to the predicate delegate, moving forward in the List, starting with the first element and ending with the last element. Processing is stopped when a match is found.
