Solution 1

If your collection implements an indexer, you can directly access an item.
Using Indexers (C# Programming Guide)[^] provides some details about this.

Here is a video that shows indexer examples - Part 64 - C# Tutorial - How and where are indexers used in .net [^].

Solution 2

C#

// get the first item if there is one
string x = collection.FirstOrDefault();

// or get the first one that confirms to a condition, such as it
// starts with "A"
string y = collection.FirstOrDefault(s => s.StartsWith("A"));
