Question

Could somone tell me why this statement return nothing and how to correct it. What im trying todo is select User where username starts with the letter from the alphabet

alpha = “A” “B” “C” “D” etc.
both don’t work

IList<MembershipUser> users = Membership.GetAllUsers().Cast<MembershipUser>()
.Where(x => x.UserName.StartsWith(alpha) == true).ToList();

IList<MembershipUser> users = Membership.GetAllUsers().Cast<MembershipUser>()
.Where(x => x.UserName.StartsWith(alpha)).ToList();

Answer 1

It’s better to use this

IList<MembershipUser> users = Membership.GetAllUsers().Cast<MembershipUser>()
.Where(x => x.UserName.StartsWith(alpha, StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase)).ToList();
