I have this code:
string[] pa = new string[] { "Maia", "Porto", "Valongo", "Gondomar", "Gaia", "Matosinhos"};
private string[] concelho;
public string[] Concelho
{
get { return concelho; }
set { concelho = value; }
}
I need to validate the string pa to see if user put one of that values on text box. The validation needs to be case sensitive, can help??
I need to validate the string pa to see if user put one of that values on text box.
Simply do this:
if(pa.Contains(TextBoxData.Text.ToString())){
// Do something.
}
toString() to ToString().
.Text will give you a string then what is the significance for .ToString() there?.Text gives you a string object you can directly apply them in contains. I don't think .ToString() will do anything special hereThis might do the trick for you
string[] pa = new string[] { "Maia", "Porto", "Valongo", "Gondomar", "Gaia", "Matosinhos" };
string inpstr = "Maia";
if(pa.Contains(inpstr))
{
//Your Textbox or Input String is one of the in the List / Array.
}
You can use your Textbox.Text instead of inpstr and yes it is case sensitive.
Contains() is case sensitive.
You can just use Linq and call Any method and pass the user entered value to it. It will return true if the value is in the array, or it will return false.
var isValid = pa.Any(x => x == "uservalue");
Make sure you import the Linq namespace by using System.Linq;
Containsmethod of the array.
