ICollection - Get single value

Question

What is the best way to get a value from a ICollection? We know the Collection is empty apart from that.

Answer 1

Linq, baby, yeah...

   var foo = myICollection.OfType().FirstOrDefault();
    // or use a query
    var bar = (from x in myICollection.OfType() where x.SomeProperty == someValue select x)
       .FirstOrDefault();
