List.IndexOf(T) method will help you. link text

Note, that this method (as any of the suggested Linq solutions) is an O(n) operation. So if you are concerned about the performance of lookup routine you might consider to convert List<T> into HashSet<T> or any other hashtable-based collection depending on your requirements.

If you by "list" mean IList<int> or something similar, that would be like:

struct.list.Count(i => i == 5);

Your question isn't really clear, but it sounds like you might want to use LINQ:

int count = x.list.Count(v => v.Value == 5);

But without anything more specific about what types are involved, it's very hard to say. If you could provide more details - such as the declaration of the types involved - it would really help.

By the way, it's very odd for a struct to contain a list. Are you really sure you want to be using a struct rather than a class?
