I am adding string to a DB value and displaying so if i get a duplicate it should not display the same thing

C#

for (int i = 0; i < lstRecData.Count; i++)
{
    if (lstRecData[i].strRecDesc.ToUpper() != strContactVib && lstRecData[i].strRecPriority == "3")
    {
      lstRecData[i].strRecDesc = "Schedule Maintenance:" + lstRecData[i].strRecDesc;
    }
}

here once this "Schedule Maintenance:" + lstRecData[i].strRecDesc; is there i shouldn't execute the statement how can i achieve it?

Search the string as :

foreach(string item in myList)
{
  if(item.Contains(myString))
       return item;
}
