.Contains() on a list of custom class objects

by

If you are using .NET 3.5 or newer you can use LINQ extension methods to achieve a “contains” check with the Any extension method:

if(CartProducts.Any(prod => prod.ID == p.ID))

This will check for the existence of a product within CartProducts which has an ID matching the ID of p. You can put any boolean expression after the => to perform the check on.

This also has the benefit of working for LINQ-to-SQL queries as well as in-memory queries, where Contains doesn’t.
