Definition

Namespace:

Determines whether an IQueryable<T> contains a specified element.

Overloads

Contains<TSource>(IQueryable<TSource>, TSource)

Determines whether a sequence contains a specified element by using the default equality comparer.
Contains<TSource>(IQueryable<TSource>, TSource, IEqualityComparer<TSource>)

Determines whether a sequence contains a specified element by using a specified IEqualityComparer<T>.

Determines whether a sequence contains a specified element by using the default equality comparer.

public:
generic <typename TSource>
[System::Runtime::CompilerServices::Extension]
 static bool Contains(System::Linq::IQueryable<TSource> ^ source, TSource item);
public static bool Contains<TSource> (this System.Linq.IQueryable<TSource> source, TSource item);
static member Contains : System.Linq.IQueryable<'Source> * 'Source -> bool
<Extension()>
Public Function Contains(Of TSource) (source As IQueryable(Of TSource), item As TSource) As Boolean

Type Parameters

TSource

The type of the elements of source.

Parameters

source
IQueryable<TSource>

An IQueryable<T> in which to locate item.

item
TSource

The object to locate in the sequence.

Returns

Boolean

true if the input sequence contains an element that has the specified value; otherwise, false.

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException

source is null.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to use Contains<TSource>(IQueryable<TSource>, TSource) to determine whether a sequence contains a specific element.

string[] fruits = { "apple", "banana", "mango",
                    "orange", "passionfruit", "grape" };

// The string to search for in the array.
string mango = "mango";

bool hasMango = fruits.AsQueryable().Contains(mango);

Console.WriteLine(
    "The array {0} contain '{1}'.",
    hasMango ? "does" : "does not",
    mango);

// This code produces the following output:
//
// The array does contain 'mango'.

Dim fruits() As String = {"apple", "banana", "mango", _
                        "orange", "passionfruit", "grape"}

' The string to search for in the array.
Dim mango As String = "mango"

Dim hasMango As Boolean = fruits.AsQueryable().Contains(mango)

MsgBox(String.Format("The array {0} contain '{1}'.", _
        IIf(hasMango, "does", "does not"), mango))

' This code produces the following output:
'
' The array does contain 'mango'.

Remarks

The Contains<TSource>(IQueryable<TSource>, TSource) method generates a MethodCallExpression that represents calling Contains<TSource>(IQueryable<TSource>, TSource) itself as a constructed generic method. It then passes the MethodCallExpression to the Execute<TResult>(Expression) method of the IQueryProvider represented by the Provider property of the source parameter.

The query behavior that occurs as a result of executing an expression tree that represents calling Contains<TSource>(IQueryable<TSource>, TSource) depends on the implementation of the type of the source parameter. The expected behavior is that it determines if source contains item.

Type Parameters

TSource

The type of the elements of source.

Parameters

source
IQueryable<TSource>

An IQueryable<T> in which to locate item.

item
TSource

The object to locate in the sequence.

comparer
IEqualityComparer<TSource>

An IEqualityComparer<T> to compare values.

Returns

Boolean

true if the input sequence contains an element that has the specified value; otherwise, false.

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException

source is null.
