Hello,

How can I search for specific values in the List collection (x++ syntax)? I am adding items to the custom list class and I would like to be able to check if a specific element already has been added.

Thanks

I recommend you to use Set Class

Set class has "in" method that determines whether a particular value is a member of the set.

List doesn't such a method - you have to iterate its elements.

As Jesús said, a Set would be a good choice for such a task, if possible in your scenario.
