Find(String[],Object[]) Method

An array of values of the columns specified in the columnNames parameter. The length and order of values must correspond to column names specified in the columnNames parameter. If the System.Type of some array value differs from the C1ViewColumn.DataType of the corresponding column then this value will be converted to the column's target type automatically. In the case where such a conversion is impossible, an exception will be raised.

Finds a row in this C1DataView by the specified values of the specified columns.

Parameters

columnNames: An array of column names to search on.
columnValues: An array of values of the columns specified in the columnNames parameter. The length and order of values must correspond to column names specified in the columnNames parameter. If the System.Type of some array value differs from the C1ViewColumn.DataType of the corresponding column then this value will be converted to the column's target type automatically. In the case where such a conversion is impossible, an exception will be raised.

Return Value

An index of found row or -1 if row has not been found.

Remarks

This method investigates the passed set of columns before performing a search. If columnNames matches subkey of primary key or sort key then performs quick search by the corresponding key; otherwise, performs linear search.
