Array IndexOf() Method
The following asp.net c# example code demonstrate us how can we get
index of an array element programmatically at run timein an asp.net
application. Array Class Array.IndexOf(Array, Object) overloaded method search
for the specified object and returnthe index of its first occurrence in
a one-dimensional array.
Array.IndexOf(Array, Object) method has two required parameters named 'array' and 'value'. The 'array' parameter represent theone-dimensional array to search and 'value' parameter represent the object to locate in array. In this example code, we initializesa string array with elements and pass a string object as 'value' parameter value to IndexOf() method to get its index.
Array.IndexOf() method return an integer value which represent the index of the first occurrence of specified object in array, if found;otherwise it return the lower bound of the array minus 1. The method throw RankException exception, if the array is multidimensional.Array contain zero-based index.
