Public Overridable Function Find ( _ predicate As Predicate(Of T) _ ) As T |
| Visual C++ |

public: virtual T Find ( Predicate<T>^ predicate ) |
Parameters
- predicate
- Predicate<(Of <T>)>
A delegate that defined the condition to check for.
Return Value
The first item that satisfies the condition predicate. If no item satisfies that condition, the default value for T is returned.Remarks
If the default value for T (null or all-zero) matches the condition defined by predicate,
and the list might contain the default value, then it is impossible to distinguish the different between finding
the default value and not finding any item. To distinguish these cases, use TryFind(Predicate<(Of <T>)>, T%).
