How do I check if a value is in an array in C#?
Like, I want to create an array with a list of printer names.
These will be fed to a method, which will look at each string in turn, and if the string is the same as a value in an array, do that action.
For example:
string[] printer = {"jupiter", "neptune", "pangea", "mercury", "sonic"};
foreach (p in printer)
{
PrinterSetup(p);
}
These are the names of the printers, they are being fed to the PrinterSetup method.
PrinterSetup will look sort of like this (some pseudocode):
public void PrinterSetup(printer)
{
if (printer == "jupiter")
{
Process.Start("BLAH BLAH CODE TO ADD PRINTER VIA WINDOWS EXEC");
}
}
How do I format if (printer == "jupiter")
in a way that C# can recognize?
Add necessary namespace
using System.Linq;
Then you can use linq Contains()
method
string[] printer = {"jupiter", "neptune", "pangea", "mercury", "sonic"};
if(printer.Contains("jupiter"))
{
Process.Start("BLAH BLAH CODE TO ADD PRINTER VIA WINDOWS EXEC"");
}
