How to use contains method to a specific field value in a list? 1

[WomanPro]

I have a list that holds sturctures. So each element of the list consist of fields. Is there a way to use contains method to look directly for a specific field value?
If yes may somebody give an example? Thank you so much in advanced.

Try this:

Say you have a Fruit structure:

Private Structure Fruit

Public Name As String​

Public Color As String​

End Structure

Then, you have a List called FruitBowl:

Dim FruitBowl as List(Of Fruit)

'fill FruitBowl with Fruit...

To see if FruitBowl Contains Fruit that is red:

FruitBowl.Contains(Function(x), x.Color="Red")

Thank you so much
That worked for me

Dim TmpFruit As New Fruit
TmpFruit = FruitBowl.Find(Function(x) x.Color.Contains("Red"))
If TmpFruit.Color Is Nothing Then
      MsgBox("nothing finded")
End If

May you explain me what exaclty does Function(x) please? I didn't created any function and it worked!!! So what exactly does it do?
Thank you so much in advanced.

I found about delegates and lamda expressions. So I need to study about them because I'm not familiar with. However, I have almost understood. Thank you so much in advanced. You saved me.
