Find item in IList with LINQ

Question

I have an IList:

IList list = CallMyMethodToGetIList();

that I don't know the type I can get it

Type entityType = list[0].GetType();`

I would like to search this list with LINQ something like:

var itemFind = list.SingleOrDefault(MyCondition....);

Thank you for any help.

Answer 1

Simple:

IList list = MyIListMethod();

var item = list
    .Cast<object>()
    .SingleOrDefault(i => i is MyType);

or:

IList list = MyIListMethod();

var item = list
    .Cast<object>()
    .SingleOrDefault(i => i != null);

hope this help!
