<p>I need to search a string in the string array. I dont want to use any for looping in it</p>

<pre><code>string [] arr = {"One","Two","Three"};

string theString = "One"
</code></pre>

<p>I need to check whether theString variable is present in arr.</p>

Well, something is going to have to look, and looping is more efficient than recursion (since tail-end recursion isn't fully implemented)... so if you just don't want to loop yourself, then either of:
```
```
bool has = arr.Contains(var); // .NET 3.5
```
```
or
```
```
bool has = Array.IndexOf(arr, var) >= 0;
```
```
For info:
avoid names like var
- this is a keyword in C# 3.0.
