Question

I am developing at WP7 c# linq and XML. This query below doesn’t work (Cannot convert type ‘bool’ to ‘string’). I need some easy usable equivalent to SQL Like operator. Operator == works well

var data = from query in loadedData.Descendants("Row")
                         where ((string)query.Element("Names").Value.Contains("Joh"))
                        select new Kalendars
                        {
                            myDate = (int)query.Element("Date"),
                            myMonth = (string)query.Element("Month"),
...

Answer 1

change:

((string)query.Element("Names").Value.Contains("Joh"))

to:

query.Element("Names").Value.Contains("Joh")

or you might be able to use SqlMethods.Like
