Hi I have tried following and succeded in that.

strArName[0] = "Waukegan";

strArName[1] = "Schaumburg";

 and Then

                           where strArName.Contains(p.Name)

                           select new { p.StationID, p.Name  };

And also it works for int[] array. but it does not work for char[] array.

so if I try

strTemp[0] = 'M';

strTemp[1] = 'F';

                            where strTemp.Contains(p.SType)  // SType is char field in database

it gives me compilation error like

Error 3 The type arguments for method 'System.Linq.Enumerable.Contains<TSource>(System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<TSource>, TSource)' cannot be inferred from the usage. Try specifying the type arguments explicitly. 

is it something that char[] array is not compatible in IN clause? I read this article from MS, but I am not clear on it http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb882672.aspx .

can anyone put some light on it, what I am doing wrong here?

Thanks

Is this wrong place to ask LINQ Question or no one knows answer for this?

Thanks

Got it!! Just incase if someone have same issue, here is a solution:

            string[] strCharArray; // strValue = "A,B,C";
            strCharArray = strValue.Split(new char[] { ',' });

            var StationDetail1 = from p in db.LANEINFOs
                                 where strCharArray.Contains(p.SType.ToString())
                                select new
                                {
                                    p.StationID,
                                    p.Name,
                                    p.SType
                                };
