Going back with a Vengeance

Problem

So I received a comment on my previous question that suggested creating a Dictionary of my menus to store the data in. So that got me thinking, all I am doing is going back to the first instance of MenuItem in the ItemList that has a Menu of Back[0].Menu. So why not just iterate through there and open the menu when I find it?

So, here is my final code:

public void GoBack()
{
NavButtonUsed = true;

Forward.Insert(0, Back[0]);
Back.RemoveAt(0);

if (Back[0].Title.StartsWith(" ") && CurrentItem.Menu != Back[0].Menu)
{
foreach(MenuItem mi in ItemList)
{
if (mi.Menu == Back[0].Menu)
{
CurrentItem = ItemList[ItemList.IndexOf(mi)];
break;
}
}
}

CurrentItem = ItemList[ItemList.IndexOf(Back[0])];
NavButtonUsed = false;
}


Everything else stayed the same as in my previous question, please check that for details.

Solution

CurrentItem = ItemList[ItemList.IndexOf(mi)];

can just be

CurrentItem = mi;


You could also use FirstOrDefault:

var item = ItemList.FirstOrDefault(i => i.Menu == Back[0].Menu);
if (item != null)
{
    CurrentItem = item;
}

Code Snippets

CurrentItem = mi;
var item = ItemList.FirstOrDefault(i => i.Menu == Back[0].Menu);
if (item != null)
{
    CurrentItem = item;
}
