Value equal to ANY value in an array?

arrays, c#

Solution

In .NET 3.5 or higher, using LINQ:

bool found = yourArray.Contains(yourValue);

In earlier versions of the framework:

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

Problem

just wondering if there is any way of checking if Value A is equal to ANY value within an array (without using large loop functions) - sort of like a "Where" function. e.g. ``` if (DataRow[column1value] == <any value within>Array A[]) { //do... } ``` Cheers!
