Question

I have one column in a database table containing state data like 33:Rio de Janeiro. I want to extract the code 33 using a LINQ expresion. Here is my code.

public string command(string query)
{
    string res = string.Empty;
    MySqlConnection conn = new MySqlConnection(MysqlConnect());
    MySqlCommand cmd = new MySqlCommand(query,conn);
    res = cmd.ExecuteScalar().ToString();
    conn.Close();
    return res;
}

Here I want to get the code of the state.

string code = db.command("select cidade from logos ")
                .Split(':')
                .Where(<Expression to get the first part>);

Please help me.
