Question

I want to do a Where statement but check to see if a field member matches an item in a list of strings instead of just a string. My entities are autogenerated from the DB and stored in the .edmx file.

//selectedAgencys is a List<string> 

List<v_MapCrimeData> list = ent.v_MapCrimeData
                               .Where(c => c.AgencyName == (element in list selectedAgencys));

Answer 1

Try

List<v_MapCrimeData> list = (from c in ent.v_MapCrimeData 
                            from x in selectedAgencys 
                            where x == c.AgencyName 
                            select c).ToList();
