SortedList<TKey, TValue>::IndexOfValue Method (TValue)

Parameters

value

Type: TValue

The value to locate in the SortedList<TKey, TValue>. The value can be null for reference types.

Return Value

The zero-based index of the first occurrence of value within the entire SortedList<TKey, TValue>, if found; otherwise, -1.

This method determines equality using the default comparer Comparer<T>::Default for the value type TValue. Comparer<T>::Default checks whether the value type TValue implements System::IComparable<T> and uses that implementation, if available. If not, Comparer<T>::Default checks whether the value type TValue implements System::IComparable. If the value type TValue does not implement either interface, this method uses Object::Equals.

This method performs a linear search; therefore, the average execution time is proportional to Count. That is, this method is an O(n) operation, where n is Count.
