If you make a generic List of don't modify strings as in<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;List&lt;string&gt; dontModify= new List&lt;string&gt;();<br />
<br />
and then add each text string that shouldn't be modified to the List<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; dontModify.Add(&quot;nochange1&quot;<wbr />);<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; dontModify.Add(&quot;nochange2&quot;<wbr />);<br />
<br />
then you can<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;struct Item {<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; public string someText;<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;};<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;Item myItem = new Item(); // you'll have to initialize it correctly, of course<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;if (dontModify.Contains(myIte<wbr />m.someText<wbr />)) Console.WriteLine(&quot;Don't change&quot;);<br />
<br />

Hello,<br />
<br />
What I want to be able to do, in C#, is not do something if the item is in an array.<br />
<br />
I have a for loop going through a list of items, and it is modifying them. There are some of them that I don't want modified, and I have stored the text of them in a pre-defined array. What I want, is the for loop to go through the array of elements that I want modified, but if the text matches any of the items in another array that I have defined, to not do anything.<br />
<br />
Is there any easy way to do this?<br />
<br />
Thanks.

C# If Item is not in array

The .NET Framework is not specific to any one programming language; rather, it includes a library of functions that allows developers to rapidly build applications. Several supported languages include C#, VB.NET, C++ or ASP.NET.

.NET Programming

C# is an object-oriented programming language created in conjunction with Microsoft’s .NET framework. Compilation is usually done into the Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL), which is then JIT-compiled to native code (and cached) during execution in the Common Language Runtime (CLR).
