Collection(Of T).IList.IndexOf Method (Object)

 

Determines the index of a specific item in the IList.

Namespace:   System.Collections.ObjectModel
Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

Private Function IndexOf (
	value As Object
) As Integer
	Implements IList.IndexOf

Parameters

value
Type: System.Object

The Object to locate in the IList.

Return Value

Type: System.Int32

The index of value if found in the list; otherwise, -1.

Exception Condition
ArgumentException

value is of a type that is not assignable to the IList.

This method determines equality using the default comparer Comparer(Of T).Default. Comparer(Of T).Default checks whether type T implements System.IComparable(Of T) and uses that implementation, if available. If not, Comparer(Of T).Default checks whether type T implements System.IComparable. If type T does not implement either interface, this method uses Object.Equals.

This method is an O(n) operation, where n is Count.
