LINQ Contains Based on Property

Question

Need to check if a list contains an item with a property value of X.

Been using FirstOrDefault and comparing to null:

   searchItems.FirstOrDefault(si => si.ID == 99) == null

Is there better way to do this?

I cannot get past syntax errors on Contains. Thanks.

Answer 1

There are probably a few ways to do this, here's another one:

bool any = searchItems.Any(si => si.ID == 99);

Answer 2

You can use the Any method

searchItems.Any(si => si.ID == 99)
