A different take on FirstOrDefault

Question

The IEnumerable extension method FirstOrDefault didn\'t exactly do as I wanted so I created FirstOrValue. Is this a good way to go about this or is there a better way?

Answer 1

Since this is an overload, it's worth mentioning the version with no predicate.

public static T FirstOrValue(this IEnumerable sequence, T value)
{
    if (sequence == null) throw new ArgumentNullException("sequence");
    foreach(T item in sequence) 
        return item; 
    return value;
}
