I am trying to get teh List.Contains to work but I am having difficulty.

I have a class object:

public class exampleList()
{
    public int prop1 {get; set;}
    public string prop2 {get;set:}
}


Now in a method in the exampleList class I am retrieving data of this class type and trying to check if the prop1 value exists in the list by using the List.Contains method.

private void FetchData()

{

exampleList objBAO = new exampleList ();

List<exampleList > objList = new List<exampleList>();

objList = objBAO.Fetch(); //another routine that goes to the database to get the data and returns it in a List<>

//The below code is not working.  I just want to pass an integer value to see if it is in the list

if (!objList.Contains(this.prop1))

{

    //code to process results

}

}

This is a VB "classic" newsgroup. Questions about VB.NET (including VB
2005/2008,
which have dropped .NET from their name) are off-topic here.

Please ask .NET questions in newsgroups with "dotnet" in their names. The
*.vb.* groups are for VB6 and earlier. If you don't see the *.dotnet.*
groups on your news server, connect directly to the Microsoft server:
msnews.microsoft.com.

For questions specific to the VB.NET language, use this group:
microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb

Please note that things like controls and data access, which have their own
subgroups in the Classic VB hierarchy, are not language-specific in .NET, so
you should look for groups like these:
microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.windowsforms.controls
microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.adonet
(Note that "vb" is not present in the group name.)

That code was probably C#

HAHAHAHAHA!! I even read through it and didn't notice! Guess that's what you
get when you're sitting around coding in C# and you pop into a VB group!

Show quote Hide quote LOl.  I never have that problem reading the code..  but if I've been writing
in it for even half an hour I find it really hard not to add ; everywhere
when I switch back to VB ;)

Hi John,

Your code looks like it is C#, in which case best to ask in a CSharp
newsgroup such as :

microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.csharp

Most likely the suggestions will be to use a Dictionary<int, exampleList> or
a comparer with the list, but best top have that discussion in the c# forums
as there are many alternatives, few if any oif which apply to early (pre
..NET) versions of VB.
