Best way to remove items from a collection

Question

What is the best way to approach removing items from a collection in C#, once the item is known, but not it\'s index. This is one way to do it, but it seems inelegant at be

Answer 1

If you want to access members of the collection by one of their properties, you might consider using a Dictionary or KeyedCollection instead. This way you don't have to search for the item you're looking for.

Otherwise, you could at least do this:

foreach (SPRoleAssignment spAssignment in workspace.RoleAssignments)
{
    if (spAssignment.Member.Name == shortName)
    {
        workspace.RoleAssignments.Remove(spAssignment);
        break;
    }
}
