Check if a string contains an element from a list (of strings)

Question

For the following block of code:

For I = 0 To listOfStrings.Count - 1
    If myString.Contains(lstOfStrings.Item(I)) Then
        Return True
    End If
Next         


        

Answer 1

The drawback of Contains method is that it doesn't allow to specify comparison type which is often important when comparing strings. It is always culture-sensitive and case-sensitive. So I think the answer of WhoIsRich is valuable, I just want to show a simpler alternative:

listOfStrings.Any(s => s.Equals(myString, StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase))
