Search list of objects based on object variable

Question

I have a list of objects. These objects have three variables, ID, Name, & value. There can be a lot of objects in this list, and I need to find one based on the ID or Name

Answer 1

Sounds like a job for LINQ!

var matchedObject =
   from t in TextPool
   where t.UName == "test"
   select t;

This is assuming your search is defined in code. If your code is driven by the UI, you may simply need to do a linear iteration. To search all possible attributes, without indexing, it isn't going to get any faster.
