Arrays in C# help.

[Sparrow]

Hey guys, I'm starting to do C# again a bit, and I need some array help.

Heres my array:
string[] names = new string[5] { "Riku", "Riku1", "Riku2", "Riku3", "Riku4" };

Now I was wondering if I could do something like, if my computer-name equals one of those 5 names it does something, anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,
Riku

            string[] arrStr = { "wew", "awt", "an array", "so scary", "but yet delicious!" };
            foreach (string szStr in arrStr)
            {
                if( szStr == SystemInformation.ComputerName )
                    // Do something
            }

something like that?

Yeah, but first it scans all of the 5 strings, then if one of them equal the computer name it will do something.

dude, a for each loop scanns the whole array

that code already has what you asked for

Well what i'm doing is, making it display a console message that 'User is allowed' or 'user is not allowed'

For me it does this:
User is allowed
user is not allowed
user is not allowed
user is not allowed
user is not allowed

well, what do you exactly want to do? break the for loop when the pc name matches?

            string[] arrStr = { "wew", "awt", "an array", "so scary", "but yet delicious!" };
            foreach (string szStr in arrStr)
            {
                if( szStr == SystemInformation.ComputerName )
                {
                    Console.WriteLine( "The user is allowed" );
                    break;
                }
            }

or something like...

string[] arrStr = { "wew", "awt", "an array", "so scary", "but yet delicious!" };
public bool bRegistered()
{
   foreach (string szStr in arrStr)
   {
      if( szStr == SystemInformation.ComputerName )
         return TRUE;
   }
   return FALSE;
}
Console.WriteLine( bRegistered() ? "The user is registered" : "The user is not registered" );

(I'm not sure if the one above works, and sorry for the hungarian notation, i usually use c++ :>)

I don't understand he is trying to do but I know the code KrYpT0n posted is looping through the entire array and then performs the check. I don't see how that's not what you are looking for. Please give us more insight on what you are trying to do.

It's simple

string[] names = new string[5] { "Riku", "Riku1", "Riku2", "Riku3", "Riku4" };

if (names.Any(x=> x == Environment.MachineName))
{
   Do Something;
}
