Search list of object based on specific attribute c#

Question

i have this class:

   class Article
    {
            public int Id { get; set; }
            public string Name { get; set; }
    }


    List<Article> arts = new List<Article>();

I have a list of objects. These objects have two variables ID, Name. I need to check if in this list there is an article with name = "Cheese". How can I do to make this search returns a Boolean value? Any help would be great! Thanks!

bool hasCheese = arts.Any(a => a.Name == "Cheese");

Simple: -

bool contains = arts.Any(x => x.Name == "Cheese");

Any will return a bool indicating whether or not the list contains Cheese
