Remarks

Use the FindByValue method to search the collection for a ListItem with a Value property that contains value specified by the value parameter. This method performs a case-sensitive and culture-insensitive comparison. This method does not do partial searches or wildcard searches. If an item is not found in the collection using this criteria, null is returned.
