I want to know how to see if my list contains a string name...having this

private class item { public string itemname { get; set; }
public int val { get; set; }

I tried,

var ilst = new List<itemname>();
ilst.Add( new itemname { ilst = "AA" , val = 1 } );

and then,

ilst.Exist(name => name.itemname == "AA" );

To do this exist a more efficient way or this is ok?

List<T>.Contains() is easier to use. if (ilst.Contains("AA")) { ..

That was my first try. The problem is that you cannot do in that way. Otherwise Visual will gives an error.
