Locate...ah, you don't want the VALUE, you want the INDEX of the value....

I'd use LINQ....

http://www.google.com/search?q=LINQ+to+get+highest+value

Brings me to

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/462699/how-do-i-get-the-index-of-the-highest-value-in-an-array-using-linq

int maxIndex = -1;
int index=0;
double maxValue = 0;

int urgh = sequence.Select(value => {
    if (maxIndex == -1 || value > maxValue)
    {
        maxIndex = index;
        maxValue = value;
    }
    index++;
    return maxIndex;
 }).Last();


That should do it for ya. :).
