IList<> Question

Tom

Hi,

I have a simple Product Domain Entity class with just fields/properties. I
have a IList<Productthat I need to search for a particular Product object
based on a field/property ProductID. The only solution I could come up with
is a method that loops through the IList<Product(foreach) and looks at
each ProductID and returning the Product with the matching ProductID. Is
this the best solution?

Thanks

Using Hashtable should be more efficient (for searching).

Or, with generics, a Dictionary<string, Productwhere the key (the
"string") is the ProductID.
