Return Value

A ListItem that contains the value specified by the value parameter.

Use the FindByValue method to search the collection for a ListItem with a Value property that contains value specified by the value parameter. This method performs a case-sensitive and culture-insensitive comparison. This method does not do partial searches or wildcard searches. If an item is not found in the collection using this criteria, a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) is returned.

ListItem myListItem = SearchType.get_SelectedItem();
ListItem crItem = null;
String searchText = TextBox1.get_Text();
if(myListItem.get_Value().Equals("Name")) {
    if(!(TextBox1.get_Text().Equals(""))) {
        String searchSubfir = searchText.Substring(0,1);
        String searchSubsec = searchText.Substring(1);
        searchText = searchSubfir.ToUpper() 
            + searchSubsec.ToLower();

        // Search by country or region name.
        crItem = itemCollection.FindByText(searchText);
    }
}
else {
    // Search by country or region code.
    crItem = itemCollection.FindByValue(searchText.ToUpper());
}

String str = "Search is successful. Match is Found.<br />";

    + crItem.get_Value() + "<br />";

    + crItem.get_Text();
