C# Find a value on a given list

Our objective to find the value on a given list. First lets create a class named Country.

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.Linq;

using System.Text;

namespace WindowsFormsApplication_GridView

{

   public class Country

    {

       private string _cAbs;

       private string _cName;

       public Country(string abs ,string cname)

       {

           _cAbs = abs;

           _cName = cname;

       }

       public string CountryAbreviation

       {

           get { return _cAbs; }

           set { _cAbs = value; }

       }

       public string CountryName

       {

           get { return _cName; }

           set { _cName = value; }

       }

   }

}

In our form.

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

        {

List<Country> countries = new List<Country>();

            countries.Add(new Country("AE", "United Arab Emirates"));

            countries.Add(new Country("AF", "Afghanistan"));

            countries.Add(new Country("AQ", "Antarctica"));

            countries.Add(new Country("AR", "Argentina"));

            countries.Add(new Country("AT", "Austria"));

            countries.Add(new Country("AU", "Australia"));

            countries.Add(new Country("BD", "Bangladesh"));

            countries.Add(new Country("BE", "Belgium"));

            countries.Add(new Country("BR", "Brazil"));

            countries.Add(new Country("BS", "Bahamas"));

            countries.Add(new Country("CA", "Canada"));

            countries.Add(new Country("CH", "Switzerland"));

            countries.Add(new Country("CL", "Chilie"));

            countries.Add(new Country("CM", "Cameroon"));

            countries.Add(new Country("CL", "Chilie"));

            countries.Add(new Country("CN", "China"));

            countries.Add(new Country("CO", "Columbia"));

            countries.Add(new Country("CR", "Costa Rica"));

            countries.Add(new Country("DK", "Denmark"));

            countries.Add(new Country("DM", "Dominica"));

            countries.Add(new Country("DO", "Domican Republic"));

            countries.Add(new Country("EC", "Ecuador"));

            countries.Add(new Country("EE", "Estonia"));

            countries.Add(new Country("EG", "Egypt"));

            countries.Add(new Country("ES", "Spain"));

            countries.Add(new Country("ET", "Ethiopia"));

            countries.Add(new Country("EU", "European Union"));

            Country myCountrySearch = countries.Find(p => p.CountryAbreviation == this.textBox1.Text);

            if (myCountrySearch != null)

            {

                MessageBox.Show("Find one " + myCountrySearch.CountryAbreviation.ToString() + "-"+ myCountrySearch.CountryName.ToString());

            }

            else

            {

                MessageBox.Show("Unable to Find country" + "-" + this.textBox1.Text);

            }

 }
