Shorthand conditional in C# similar to SQL 'in' keyword

Question

In C# is there a shorthand way to write this:

public static bool IsAllowed(int userID)
{
    return (userID == Personnel.JohnDoe || userID == Personnel.JaneD         


        

Answer 1

How about something like this:

public static bool IsAllowed(int userID) {
  List IDs = new List { 1,2,3,4,5 };
  return IDs.Contains(userID);
}

(You could of course change the static status, initialize the IDs class in some other place, use an IEnumerable<>, etc, based on your needs. The main point is that the closest equivalent to the in operator in SQL is the Collection.Contains() function.)
