Get previous/next item of a given item in a List<>

Question

Says I have this List : 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 13

For example, given value is : 9, the previous item is 7 and the next item is 13

How can I achieve this using C#?

Answer 1

I have implemented this by Inheriting the .Net List

public class NavigationList : List
    {
        private int _currentIndex = 0;
        public int CurrentIndex
        {
            get
            {
                if (_currentIndex > Count - 1) { _currentIndex = Count - 1; }
                if (_currentIndex < 0) { _currentIndex = 0; }
                return _currentIndex;
            }
            set { _currentIndex = value; }
        }

        public T MoveNext
        {
            get { _currentIndex++; return this[CurrentIndex]; }
        }

        public T MovePrevious
        {
            get { _currentIndex--; return this[CurrentIndex]; }
        }

        public T Current
        {
            get { return this[CurrentIndex]; }
        }
    }

Using this becomes quite easy

 NavigationList n = new NavigationList();
            n.Add("A");
            n.Add("B");
            n.Add("C");
            n.Add("D");
            Assert.AreEqual(n.Current, "A");
            Assert.AreEqual(n.MoveNext, "B");
            Assert.AreEqual(n.MovePrevious, "A");
