Value equal to ANY value in an array?

Question

just wondering if there is any way of checking if Value A is equal to ANY value within an array (without using large loop functions) - sort of like a "Where" function.

e.g.

if (DataRow[column1value] == <any value within>Array A[])
{
//do...
}

Cheers!

In .NET 3.5 or higher, using LINQ:

bool found = yourArray.Contains(yourValue);

In earlier versions of the framework:

bool found = Array.IndexOf(yourArray, yourValue) > -1;
