Question

I have following code in VS2008

If Linq.Enumerable.Contains(Of String)(selectedUsersRoles, RoleCheckBox.Text) Then
    RoleCheckBox.Checked = True
Else
    RoleCheckBox.Checked = False
End If

I need the above code in VS2005

What can i do instead of linq in above code? Can anybody help?

Answer 1

RoleCheckBox.Checked = False
For Each str As String in selectedUsersRoles
     If str = RoleCheckBox.Text Then
          RoleCheckBox.Checked = True
          Exit For
     End If
Next

If you don’t wish to alter the RoleCheckBox.Checked twice (when str is actually found) then declare a boolean flag (i.e. boolFound) with an initial False value, change it to true when found, and asign RoleCheckBox.Checked = boolFound after the “for each” loop….
