Find element in List that contains a value

Question

Either use LINQ:

var value = MyList.First(item => item.name == "foo").value;

(This will just find the first match, of course. There are lots of options around this.)

Or use Find instead of FindIndex:

var value = MyList.Find(item => item.name == "foo").value;

I’d strongly suggest using LINQ though – it’s a much more idiomatic approach these days.

(I’d also suggest following the .NET naming conventions.)
