Return Value

Implements

This method determines equality using the default comparer Generic System.Collections.Generic.Comparer.Default. This comparer checks whether type T implements Generic System.IComparable and uses that implementation if available. If not, this comparer checks whether type T implements System.IComparable. If type T does not implement either interface, this method uses Equals(Object).

This method performs a linear search; therefore, the average execution time is proportional to Count. That is, this method is an O(n) operation, where n is Count.
