bounds checking a list?

Questions & Answers
1

How do I check if a value in a list valid in C#? I have a list that dynamically grows and shrinks but when the list is Empty(no values/entries in the list), I want to run alternate code.

So something like this: if(value == "ArgumentOutOfBounds") { //do This }

How do I do code that actually works in this situation?

Use the list's Count property.

if(index < List.Count)
{
    (Safely work with List[index])
}

 List<string> list = new List<string>();
        int amountOfItemsInList = list.Count;
        if (amountOfItemsInList == 0)
        {
            //List is empty
        }
        else
        {
            //List is not empty
        }

        int indexIWantFromList = 5;
        if (indexIWantFromList < amountOfItemsInList)
        {
            //Index found in list
        }
        else
        {
            //index not found in list
        }
