Hello Kenny, You can use one of the below methods in C#.Net string [] arr = { "One" , "Two" , "Three" }; var target = "One" ; var results = Array.FindAll(arr, s => s.Equals(target)); bool has = arr.Contains(var); // .NET 3.5 or bool has = Array.IndexOf(arr, var) >= 0; List testing = new List (); testing.Add( "One" ); testing.Add( "Two" ); testing.Add( "Three" ); testing.Add( "Mouse" ); bool inList = testing.Contains( "Mouse" ); bool exists = arr.Contains( "One" ); string [] stringArray = { "text1" , "text2" , "text3" , "text4" }; string value = "text3" ; int pos = Array.IndexOf(stringArray, value); if (pos > -1) { return true ; } else { return false ; } int findString(String var, String[] stringArray, int currentIndex, int stringMaxIndex) { if currentIndex > stringMaxIndex return (-stringMaxIndex-1); else if var==arr[currentIndex] //or use any string comparison op or function return 0; else return findString(var, stringArray, currentIndex++, stringMaxIndex) + 1 ; } //calling code int index = findString(var, arr, 0, getMaxIndex(arr)); if index == -1 printOnScreen( "Not found" ); else printOnScreen( "Found on index: " + index); You can check the element existence by arr.Any(x => x == "One" ) https://www.c-sharpcorner.com/blogs/array-search-in-c-sharp1
