search inside collection

I have an array with multiple items in it. I want to pull a value of an item from the array where specific items value is "X"

so here is what I want
Collection Items
collection.Item(0).StateAlpha = 'AR'
collection.Item(0).PolicyType = P
collection.Item(0).HasAClaim = N
collection.Item(0).HasAClaimThisMod = N
collection.Item(0).SearchStatus = P
collection.Item(0).Mod = 2

collection.Item(1).StateAlpha = 'AZ'
collection.Item(1).PolicyType = P
collection.Item(1).HasAClaim = N
collection.Item(1).HasAClaimThisMod = N
collection.Item(1).SearchStatus = P
collection.Item(1).Mod = 3

Please show how you define the collection in your program and how the item which is stored in it is defined?

my collection is defined in a seperate class. basically I read a value out of DB and populate the collection

If it is your own collection class then you will have to code the search function yourself.

Consider using one of the collections (eg. map, list...) provided by the .net framework. They support functions such as Find where you can pass a delegate to a function that can check if the item meets the criteria supplied. There are examples in the help files.
