I have following class, a LinkedList is there has list of Employee object. Now need to search an employee according to name. Like list.Contains(emp.empName) suppose or any thing else.

C#

class Employee
    {
        int empId;
        string empName;
        double basicSal;

        Employee(int eid, string name, double bsal)
        {
            empId = eid;
            empName = name;
            basicSal = bsal;
        }

        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            LinkedList<Employee> list = new LinkedList<Employee>();
            //List of employees
            list.AddFirst(new Employee(1, "Sam",9000));
            list.AddLast(new Employee(2, "Jeet", 10000));
            list.AddLast(new Employee(3, "John", 11000));



        }

}

Thank You.

What about LINQ? Something like:

C#

var result = list.Where(emp => emp.empName == "TheName");

Or

C#

var result = list.FirstOrDefault(emp => emp.empName == "TheName");

I came to one solution.

For the above case i think we cannot use Contins() or Find().
But use ToArray()

C#

Console.Write("Enter a name for search: ");
          string n = Console.ReadLine();

           Employee[] emparr=new Employee[list.Count];
           emparr = list.ToArray();
           int c = 0;
          for (c = 0; c < list.Count; c++)
          {
              if (emparr[c].empName == n)
              {

                  break;
              }

          }

Console.WriteLine("Name is: "+emparr[c].empId+" Basic Salary is: "+emparr[c].basicSal);

Can we use Find() or Contains() method instead ??
