how to check if List element contains an item with a Particular Property Value

Question

public class PricePublicModel
{
    public PricePublicModel() { }

    public int PriceGroupID { get; set; }
    public double Size { get; set; }
    public double S         


        

Answer 1

bool contains = pricePublicList.Any(p => p.Size == 200);

Answer 2

This is pretty easy to do using LINQ:

var match = pricePublicList.FirstOrDefault(p => p.Size == 200);
if (match == null)
{
    // Element doesn't exist
}

Answer 3

If you have a list and you want to know where within the list an element exists that matches a given criteria, you can use the FindIndex instance method. Such as

int index = list.FindIndex(f => f.Bar == 17);

Where f => f.Bar == 17 is a predicate with the matching criteria.

In your case you might write

int index = pricePublicList.FindIndex(item => item.Size == 200);
if (index >= 0) 
{
    // element exists, do what you need
}

Answer 4

var item = pricePublicList.FirstOrDefault(x => x.Size == 200);
if (item != null) {
   // There exists one with size 200 and is stored in item now
}
else {
  // There is no PricePublicModel with size 200
}

Answer 5

You don't actually need LINQ for this because List<T> provides a method that does exactly what you want: Find.

Searches for an element that matches the conditions defined by the specified predicate, and returns the first occurrence within the entire List<T>.

Example code:

PricePublicModel result = pricePublicList.Find(x => x.Size == 200);

Answer 6

You can using the exists

if (pricePublicList.Exists(x => x.Size == 200))
{
   //code
}
