Use linq to check string value in string array or List in c #

Question

I am using the following steps to check an array or list. Included value:

string[] Names= { /* */};
string target = "";

if(Array.IndexOf(Names, target) > -1)
  //Do

So, is there a linq command to test this?

   Names.Any( s => s == target );

Something like that?

Names.Any(n => Equals(n, target));

string[] Names= { /* */};

Do you mean the Linq method?

If yes, then one:

Names.Contains(target)

Note that there is no need for a lambda here.
