LinkedList(Of T).First Property

LinkedList(Of T) accepts Nothing as a valid Value for reference types and allows duplicate values.

If the LinkedList(Of T) is empty, the First and Last properties contain Nothing.

Retrieving the value of this property is an O(1) operation.

The following code example and output demonstrate the First property. The code example inserts a node at the beginning of a linked list of nodes containing strings, uses the First property to mark the first element, then removes the element and adds it to the end of the list.

This code and output are part of a larger example provided for the LinkedList(Of T) class.

' Move the first node to be the last node. 
Dim mark1 As LinkedListNode(Of String) = sentence.First
sentence.RemoveFirst()
sentence.AddLast(mark1)
