How can I compare multiple variables to a single condition?

Question

I have this:

if (input.Text.ToUpper() == \"STOP\")

But there are so many possible values that I wouldn\'t be able to specify them all sepa

Answer 1

Perfect situation for a string extension

Add this to a new file

namespace appUtils
{
    public static class StringExtensions
    {
        public static bool In(this string s, params string[] values)
        {
            return values.Any(x => x.Equals(s));
        }
    }
}

and call from your code in this way

if(input.Text.In("STOP", "END", "NO", "YES") == true)
   // ... do your stuff
