Collection<T>.Find(Predicate<T>) Method

Returns the first element that matches the conditions defined by the specified predicate.

Namespace: DevExpress.Web

Assembly: DevExpress.Web.v24.2.dll

Declaration

C#

public T Find(
    Predicate<T> match
)

VB.NET

Public Function Find(
    match As Predicate(Of T)
) As T

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
match	Predicate<T>	A delegate that defines the conditions of the elements to search for.

Returns

Type	Description
T	The element that matches the conditions defined by the predicate.

Remarks

The Find method individually passes elements of the current collection to a predicate, and returns the first element that matches the predicate. A predicate is a delegate to a method that returns true if the object passed to it matches the conditions defined in the delegate; otherwise the method returns false.

Example

The code sample below demonstrates how to obtain a navigation bar group that is currently expanded. For this purpose, the Find method is used. The IsExpanded predicate determines whether a group is expanded.

C#

using DevExpress.Web.ASPxNavBar;
...
NavBarGroup ExpandedGroup = ASPxNavBar1.Groups.Find(IsExpanded);
...
private static bool IsExpanded(NavBarGroup group) {
     return group.Expanded;
}

VB.NET

Imports DevExpress.Web.ASPxNavBar
...
Private ExpandedGroup As NavBarGroup = ASPxNavBar1.Groups.Find(IsExpanded)
...
Private Shared Function IsExpanded(ByVal group As NavBarGroup) As Boolean
     Return group.Expanded
End Function
