LINQ, use string[] in a query

Question

I have a query that looks something like this...

string value
            return DataContext.Tags.Where(t => t.Keys.Any(k => k.Ring.RingName == category))
                .Where(t => t.Keys.Any(k => k.Ring.Keys.Any(c => c.Tag.TagName == value)));

It works good, I love it. But it needs to do something extra. the 'value' string will actually be a string[] - is there any way to basically change the last lamda to say 'if the TagName matches anything found in this string[]'?

Answer 1

Like this: (Untested)

string[] values
return DataContext.Tags.Where(t => t.Keys.Any(k => k.Ring.RingName == category))
                       .Where(t => t.Keys.Any(k => k.Ring.Keys.Any(c => values.Contains(c.Tag.TagName))));

Answer 2

If you can't change the declaration of value c =>(new List (value)).Contains(c.Tag.TagName)

If you can, can you declare it as List?
