If you want to use LINQ, you can just do this:

If pins.Contains(TextBox2.Text) Then
    TextBox1.Text = "Success"
End If

Otherwise, the easiest option would be to use a List instead of an array:

Dim pins As New List(Of String)(New String() {"dgge", "wada", "caas", "reaa"})
If pins.Contains(TextBox2.Text) Then
    TextBox1.Text = "Success"
End If

But, if you must use an array, you can use the IndexOf method in the Array class:

If Array.IndexOf(TextBox2.Text) >=0 Then
    TextBox1.Text = "Success"
End If

If Array.IndexOf(pins, TextBox2.Text) <> -1 Then
    TextBox1.Text = "Succes"
End If End Sub

If pins.IndexOf(TextBox2.Text) >= 0 Then
    TextBox1.Text = "Founded"
End If

Or if you use List(Of String) instead of array:

If pins.Contains(TextBox2.Text) Then
    TextBox1.Text = "Founded"
End If
