Couldn't you do something like this???

 

Convert the Word your searching for to an Object using the CType function

 

Loop through the Array and use the Object,Equals method on the Array Index
Value

 

It should return a Boolean value of whether or not your Objects are Equal.

Thanks, but then I have to take the word out of the array, before comparing.
When there are many words in the array, I believe there must be an advantage
to search for the word directly in the array?

Look at these methods:



I believe you might want String.Equals



String.Compare

String.CompareTo

String.Equals



Instead of IndexOf

Subject: [AspNetAnyQuestionIsOk] Check if a word exists in an string array



Hello,

I have a string array with words. How can I check if a specific word exists
in the array?

The problem with myArray.IndexOf(myArray, word) is that it returns > 0 if
the parameter word is a part of an element in the array (i.e. the word "in"
matches "invite"). I want to check if only the WHOLE word exists, not a part
of it.

Helge
