Question

I’m wondering is there any condition instead of T-SQL like in generic lists in C# 4.0.

I’ve got a gridview on my page I got all datas and I need to search by name and lastname, so I think there must be but I couldn’t find yet.

Answer 1

Use String.Contains, String.StartsWith or String.EndsWith as part of a predicate, either using List<T>.FindAll or Where in LINQ.

For example:

var jons = people
    .Where(p => p.FirstName.StartsWith("Jon", StringComparison.CurrentCultureIgnoreCase))
    .ToList();
