Can you explain what you mean by 'complete'?

If I understand your question, it's just myList.Contains("The string");

Loop through the array and check if each element is equal to the string in question.

There is no grey area. You have either added it or you haven't. There is no measure of "completeness"

Or as Tryparse already mentioned, .Contains works too. Also don't use ArrayLists. Use the generic List<string>.
