C# Linq Contains Method
One of the methods we can use to find whether the desired element exists in the Array or Collection is the "Contains" method.
The method returns a value of true or false ie bool.
In the example below, we are trying to query whether the value "60" exists in the integer array.
namespace ConsoleApplicationTest
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
int[] numArry = { 100, 90, 80, 70, 60 };
var myValue = (from num in numArry select num).Contains(60);
Console.WriteLine(myValue);
Console.ReadKey();
}
}
}
Since the value "60" is in the array, the variable "myValue" will be true.
We can also use Contains method as follows.
namespace ConsoleApplicationTest
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
int[] numArry = { 100, 90, 80, 70, 60 };
var myValue = numArry.AsEnumerable().Contains(60);
Console.WriteLine(myValue);
Console.ReadKey();
}
}
}
