    List <string> listCity = new List <string> () {
      "Delhi",
      "Mumbai",
      "Agra",
      "Gwalior",
      "Jhashi"
    };

    string city = "Agra";
    bool isExist = false;

    isExist = listCity.AsEnumerable().Contains(city);

    if (isExist == true)

    else
      Console.WriteLine(city + " city does not exists in List");
  }
}

Agra city exists in List
Press any key to continue . . .

Explanation

In the above program, we created a class LinqDemo that contains the Main() method. In the Main() method we created a list listCity that contains the name of cities, and we also created a local variable city that is initialized with "Agra".

isExist = listCity.AsEnumerable().Contains(city);

In the above code Contains() method check the city "Agra" is exist in the list listCity. The listCity contains "Agra" that's why the Contains() method will return true and then the "Agra city exists in List" message will print on the console screen.
