I was reading this https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.collections.generic.list-1.find?view=net-6.0 and try it as the example code:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
// Simple business object. A PartId is used to identify a part
// but the part name can change.
public class Part : IEquatable<Part>
{
public string PartName { get; set; }
public int PartId { get; set; }
public override string ToString()
{
return "ID: " PartId " Name: " PartName;
}
public override bool Equals(object obj)
{
if (obj == null) return false;
Part objAsPart = obj as Part;
if (objAsPart == null) return false;
else return Equals(objAsPart);
}
public override int GetHashCode()
{
return PartId;
}
public bool Equals(Part other)
{
if (other == null) return false;
return (this.PartId.Equals(other.PartId));
}
// Should also override == and != operators.
}
public class Example
{
public static void Main()
{
// Create a list of parts.
List<Part> parts = new List<Part>();
// Add parts to the list.
parts.Add(new Part() { PartName = "crank arm", PartId = 1234 });
parts.Add(new Part() { PartName = "chain ring", PartId = 1334 });
parts.Add(new Part() { PartName = "regular seat", PartId = 1434 });
parts.Add(new Part() { PartName = "banana seat", PartId = 1444 });
parts.Add(new Part() { PartName = "cassette", PartId = 1534 });
parts.Add(new Part() { PartName = "shift lever", PartId = 1634 }); ;
// Write out the parts in the list. This will call the overridden ToString method
// in the Part class.
Console.WriteLine();
foreach (Part aPart in parts)
{
Console.WriteLine(aPart);
}
// Check the list for part #1734. This calls the IEquatable.Equals method
// of the Part class, which checks the PartId for equality.
Console.WriteLine("\nContains: Part with Id=1734: {0}",
parts.Contains(new Part { PartId = 1734, PartName = "" }));
// Find items where name contains "seat".
Console.WriteLine("\nFind: Part where name contains \"seat\": {0}",
parts.Find(x => x.PartName.Contains("seat")));
// Check if an item with Id 1444 exists.
Console.WriteLine("\nExists: Part with Id=1444: {0}",
parts.Exists(x => x.PartId == 1444));
/*This code example produces the following output:
ID: 1234 Name: crank arm
ID: 1334 Name: chain ring
ID: 1434 Name: regular seat
ID: 1444 Name: banana seat
ID: 1534 Name: cassette
ID: 1634 Name: shift lever
Contains: Part with Id=1734: False
Find: Part where name contains "seat": ID: 1434 Name: regular seat
Exists: Part with Id=1444: True
*/
}
}
now I want to know if there is a way to assign a special line into a text box or something like that? sorry for my bad English I will say as an example. in this part of codes we have
parts.Add(new Part() { PartName = "crank arm", PartId = 1234 });
parts.Add(new Part() { PartName = "chain ring", PartId = 1334 });
parts.Add(new Part() { PartName = "regular seat", PartId = 1434 });
parts.Add(new Part() { PartName = "banana seat", PartId = 1444 });
parts.Add(new Part() { PartName = "cassette", PartId = 1534 });
parts.Add(new Part() { PartName = "shift lever", PartId = 1634 }); ;
now I want to assign PartName into a textbox or string where the id is 1634 can someone tell me where can I get something like that? in this line
// Find items where name contains "seat".
Console.WriteLine("\nFind: Part where name contains \"seat\": {0}",
parts.Find(x => x.PartName.Contains("seat")));
it will check if partname contains "seat" exists and the output is
ID: 1434 Name: regular seat
the problem is I don't want the whole part to have, i want just PartName or PartID like : "1434", only this. not even "ID: 1434". i hope you guys understand me, i try my best :-( sorry for my bad English again. thanks

Use linq:
var myPartName = parts.Where(p => p.PartId == 1432).Select(p => p.PartName).FirstOrDefault();
This will return the first partName with the given ID, or null if non exist.
You could also consider converting the list to a dictionary with the partId as key, this would give faster & easier lookup:
var partDict = parts.ToDictionary(p => p.PartId, p => p);
var myPartName = parts[1432].PartName; // will throw if id does not exist, use TryGet for a safer version
CodePudding user response:
At the moment the Find returns the whole object and the ToString() is called by default to display this as a string value.
If you just want the PartId
to be shown then you can do this:
Console.WriteLine("\nFind: Part where name contains \"seat\": {0}",
parts.Find(x => x.PartName.Contains("seat"))?.PartId );
You can instead use PartName
or any other property of Part
If you want something more complex then you can create a new method in the Part class and call that.
public class Part : IEquatable<Part>
{
public string PartName { get; set; }
public int PartId { get; set; }
public override string ToString()
{
return "ID: " PartId " Name: " PartName;
}
public string AlternativeToString()
{
return this.PartId " " this.PartName;
}
//rest stays the same
}
And call it like this
Console.WriteLine("\nFind: Part where name contains \"seat\": {0}",
parts.Find(x => x.PartName.Contains("seat"))?.AlternativeToString() );
