OutlineCodeCollection.IndexOf method

Determines the index of the specified item in this collection.

public int IndexOf(OutlineCode item)

Parameter	Type	Description
item	OutlineCode	the specified item to locate in this collection.

Return Value

the index of the specified item if found; otherwise, -1.

Examples

Shows how to work with outline code collections.

        continue;
    }

    Console.WriteLine("Print outline codes for the " + current.Get(Tsk.Name) + " task.");
    Console.WriteLine("Count of outline codes: " + current.OutlineCodes.Count);
    foreach (var outlineCode in current.OutlineCodes)
    {
