Fastest way to compare a string with an array of strings in C#2.0

Question

What is the fastest way to compare a string with an array of strings in C#2.0

Answer 1

You mean to see if the string is in the array? I can't remember if arrays support the .Contains() method, so if not, create a List< string >, add your array to the list via AddRange(), then call list.Contains({string to compare}). Will return a boolean value indicating whether or not the string is in the array.
