Parameters

array

A one-dimensional Array to search. [Edit]

value

A object to locate in array. [Edit]

startIndex

A int that contains the index at which searching starts. [Edit]

count

A int that contains the number of elements to search, beginning with startIndex. [Edit]

Returns

A int containing the index of the first occurrence of value in array, within the range startIndex through startIndex + count- 1, if found; otherwise, array.GetLowerBound(0) - 1.

Note: For a vector, if value is not found, the return value will be -1. This provides the caller with a standard code for the failed search.

[Edit]

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException	array is null. [Edit]
ArgumentOutOfRangeException	startIndex is less than array.GetLowerBound(0). -or- count is less than zero. -or- startIndex + count is greater than array.GetLowerBound(0) + array.Length. [Edit]
RankException	array has more than one dimension. [Edit]

Remarks

The elements are compared using object.Equals(object). [Edit]
