How to get index using LINQ?
- by codymanix
Given a datasource like that:
var c = new Car[]
{
new Car{ Color="Blue", Price=28000},
new Car{ Color="Red", Price=54000},
new Car{ Color="Pink", Price=9999},
// ..
};
How can I find the index of the first car satisfying a certain condition with LINQ?
EDIT:
I could think of something like this but it looks horrible:
int firstItem = someItems.Select((item, index) => new
{
ItemName = item.Color,
Position = index
}).Where(i => i.ItemName == "purple")
.First()
.Position;
Will it be the best to solve this with a plain old loop?
