I have a record struct, similar to as:
public readonly record struct Something(string Prop1, string Prop2);
And a method that receives List<Something> theList.
In that method I have:
Something? x = theList.FirstOrDefault(i => i.Prop1 == "..." && i.Prop2 == "....");
So, because I declared "x" as Something? x (nullable) I was expecting x to be null if it wasn't found, since I'm using .FirstOrDefault(...).
However, I always get x - it's not null even if the conditions aren't met.
Okay, so I then check x.HasValue and expected this to be false as I know the item in question doesn't exist. However, this returned true which suggests I've found the item? But no, when I inspect x.Value.Prop1 then it's value is null, and same for x.Value.Prop2.
Wasn't expecting this... (using .NET 7)
What's the best way to find if an record struct exists, and only if it exists, take it?
I thought of using .Any(i => i.Prop1 == "..." && i.Prop2 == "....") but it will have to search through my entire list first and if it returns true then I'd have to do a second pass through the list to retrieve it.
