shorthand

I have this code:

    if (y == a && y == b && y == c && y == d ...)
    {
        ...
    }

Is there some form of shorthand so that I can rewrite it as something like this?

    if(y == (a && b && c && d ...))
    {
        ...
    }

The functionality should be exactly the same. I'm just looking for something that looks less confusing.

EDIT Sorry for not clarifying, all the variables are integers. I'm looking for a shorter way to ensure that a, b, c, d, ... all equal y.

Dynamic Type to do away with Reflection

The dynamic type in C# 4.0 is a welcome addition to the language.
