• How to get index using LINQ? [duplicate] 7 answers

I am new to Linq. I have a Customers table.ID,FullName,Organization,Location being the columns. I have a query in Sqlite returning me 2500 records of customers. I have to find the index of the customer where ID=150 for example from this result set. Its a List of Customers. The result set of the query is ordered by organization. I tried with FindIndex and IndexOf but getting errors for the former and -1 for the latter. So, how should it be done? Thanks.

Answer 1

You don't need to use LINQ, you can use FindIndex of List<T>:

int index = customers.FindIndex(c => c.ID == 150);

Answer 2

Linq to Objects has overloaded Select method

customers.Select((c,i) => new { Customer = c, Index = i })
         .Where(x => x.Customer.ID == 150)
         .Select(x => x.Index);

Keep in mind, that you should have in-memory List<Customer> to use this Linq to Objects method.
