A better way to find item(s) in generic list using Predecate
Most often, we do with List
and find one or more items in list. Imagine that we want to look for a product in List
using PrimaryKey. The code is: foreach (Product p in this.Products) { if (p.PrimaryKey == primaryKey) return p; } We also have another way that makes it better in performance as well as readability. Predicate
condition = delegate(Product p) { return p.PrimaryKey.Equals(primaryKey); }; return this.Products.Find(condition); To find all items: this.Products.FindAll(condition); Both of them return NULL if not found.
