Question

My requirement is to compare the values in string with the list of string.

Code:

string Names = "Prabha,Karan";
        List<string> Presenter = new List<string> { "Prabha", "Joe", "Hukm" };

bool Presented = Presenter.Contains(Names.Split(','));

the above code throws an error and here i need to find the names are presented in the presenter(Presenter has the splited values of the Names).

Answer 1

you could do it like below:

var splitNames = Names.Split(',');
bool Presented = Presenter.Any(p => splitNames.Contains(p));

EDIT:

If you’re interested what are the matches just do:

var matches = Presenter.Where(p => splitNames.Contains(p))
