Is there any IN Operator in VB.net functions like the one in SQL

Question

Is there any function or operator like:

        If RoleName in ( "Val1",  "Val2" ,"Val2" ) Then
        'Go
    End If

Instead of:

    If RoleName = "Val1" Or RoleName = "Val2" Or RoleName = "Val2" Then
        'Go
    End If

Answer 1

Try using an array and then you can use the Contains extension:

Dim s() As String = {"Val1", "Val2", "Val3"}
If s.Contains(RoleName) Then
  'Go      
End If

Or without the declaration line:

If New String() {"Val1", "Val2", "Val3"}.Contains(RoleName) Then
  'Go
End If

From the OP, if the Contains extension is not available, you can try this:

If Array.IndexOf(New String() {"Val1", "Val2", "Val3"}, RoleName) > -1 Then
  'Go
End If
