Question

Is it possible to make a query on two differents properties in a Where()? For exemple, I want to fetch all my users that have “Robert G” in their FirstName ans LastName properties. If I do :

var contacts = _session.All<Contact>()
    .Where(x => x.IsActive
                && (x.FirstName.ToLower().Contains(q.ToLower())
                    || x.LastName.ToLower().Contains(q.ToLower())));

I will get no result for “Robert G” since FirstName contains “Robert” and LastName “Gambonni”.

I also thought about making a new property FullName wich is only a Getter but then I have to load them all before since my property is not in the DB.

Any suggestions? Thanks a lot!

How about:

var contacts = _session.All<Contact>()
    .Where(x => x.IsActive
                && ((x.FirstName.ToLower() + " " + x.LastName.ToLower()).Contains(q.ToLower())));
