check if array contains certain text, and if so, add the rows to listbox

steve potts

hi again all!

last question i promise ;)

i need to check if a string variable exists inside of an array of data.

heres how i currently add., what i would like to do is add them only if the data i have in my string smsName is within that row... any ideas? thank!

foreach (DataRow row in sentSMS.Rows)

{

string rows = string.Format("{0}:{1}:{2}", row.ItemArray[0], row.ItemArray[1], row.ItemArray[2]);

ListViewItem item1 = new ListViewItem(row.ItemArray[0].ToString(), 0);

item1.Checked = true;

item1.SubItems.Add(row.ItemArray[1].ToString());

item1.SubItems.Add(row.ItemArray[2].ToString());

listView1.Items.Add(item1);
