Single with condition

using System;
using System.Linq;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
public class Employee {
    public int id;
    public string firstName;
    public string lastName;
    public static ArrayList GetEmployeesArrayList() {
        ArrayList al = new ArrayList();
        al.Add(new Employee { id = 1, firstName = "J", lastName = "R" });
        al.Add(new Employee { id = 2, firstName = "W", lastName = "G" });
        al.Add(new Employee { id = 3, firstName = "A", lastName = "H" });
        al.Add(new Employee { id = 4, firstName = "D", lastName = "L" });
        al.Add(new Employee { id = 101, firstName = "K", lastName = "F" });
        return (al);
    }
    public static Employee[] GetEmployeesArray() {
        return ((Employee[])GetEmployeesArrayList().ToArray(typeof(Employee)));
    }
}
public class MainClass {
    public static void Main() {
        Employee emp = Employee.GetEmployeesArray().Single(e => e.id == 3);
        Console.WriteLine("{0} {1}", emp.firstName, emp.lastName);
    }
}

Single with object list

using System;
using System.Linq;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
public class Employee {
    public int id;
    public string firstName;
    public string lastName;
    public static ArrayList GetEmployeesArrayList() {
        ArrayList al = new ArrayList();
        al.Add(new Employee { id = 1, firstName = "J", lastName = "R" });
        al.Add(new Employee { id = 2, firstName = "W", lastName = "G" });
        al.Add(new Employee { id = 3, firstName = "A", lastName = "H" });
        al.Add(new Employee { id = 4, firstName = "D", lastName = "L" });
        al.Add(new Employee { id = 101, firstName = "K", lastName = "F" });
        return (al);
    }
    public static Employee[] GetEmployeesArray() {
        return ((Employee[])GetEmployeesArrayList().ToArray(typeof(Employee)));
    }
}
public class MainClass {
    public static void Main() {
        Employee emp = Employee.GetEmployeesArray().Where(e => e.id == 3).Single();
        Console.WriteLine("{0} {1}", emp.firstName, emp.lastName);
    }
}

Using Single

using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using System.Linq;
public class MainClass{
   public static void Main(){
            int[] numbers = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9};
            var query = numbers.Single(n => n > 8);
            Console.Write(query);
   }
}
