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

List TextPool = new List();
objec found = TextPool.FirstOrDefault(item => item.Name == "test");
if (found != null) found.value = "Value";

If you are going to perform many lookups, you could cache the results in multiple Dictionary<> instances (or Lookup<> instance if keys are not unique).
