get item at index list c# code example

Example 1: c# list index

// Get the first item from the list

using System.Linq;

var myList = new List<string>{ "Yes", "No", "Maybe"};
var firstItem = myList.ElementAt(0);

// Do something with firstItem

Example 2: get last element of array c#

string[] str = new string[] {"Java","HTML","jQuery"};
Console.WriteLine("Last element: "+str[str.Length - 1])

Example 3: get string character by index c#

//Returns a char
myString.[0];

//Returns a string
myString.[0].ToString();

Example 4: c# list any retun indec

public class Item {
	public int Id { get; set; }
	public Item() {}
	public Item(int id) { Id = id; }
}
List<Item> idList = { new Item(1), new Item(2), new Item(3) };
Item[] idLArr = [ new Item(1), new Item(2), new Item(3) ];

Item newItem = new Item(1);

// Using a lambda expression we can do the following query
int index = idList.FindIndex(item => item.Id == newItem.Id);
int arrIndex = Array.IndexOf(idLArr, newItem.Id);

//Then use it like so:
if (index != -1)
{
	// The item exists at index 0!
}
