public static T FindLastWhere<T>(
	IEnumerable<T> collection,

)

Public Shared Function FindLastWhere(Of T) ( _
	collection As IEnumerable(Of T), _
	predicate As Predicate(Of T) _
) As T

public:
generic<typename T>
static T FindLastWhere (
	IEnumerable<T>^ collection, 
	Predicate<T>^ predicate
)

Parameters

collection

IEnumerable<(Of <T>)>
The collection to search.

predicate

Predicate<(Of <T>)>
A delegate that defined the condition to check for.

Return Value

T

If the collection implements IList<T>, then the list is scanned in reverse until a matching item is found. Otherwise, the entire collection is iterated in the forward direction.

If the default value for T could be present in the collection, and would be matched by the predicate, then this method is inappropriate, because you cannot disguish whether the default value for T was actually present in the collection, or no items matched the predicate. In this case, use TryFindFirstWhere.
