A value equal to ANY value in the array?

Question

just wondering if there is a way to check if the value of A is equal to ANY value inside the array (without using the large loop functions) - sort of like the Where function.

eg.

if (DataRow[column1value] == <any value within>Array A[])
{
//do...
}

Hurrah!

Answer 1

In .NET 3.5 or higher, using LINQ:

bool found = yourArray.Contains(yourValue);

In earlier versions of the structure:

bool found = Array.IndexOf(yourArray, yourValue) > -1;

Answer 2

if(myArray.Contains(A)){...}

Answer 3

yourArray.Any(item => item != null && item.Equals(yourvalue));

Answer 4
