Linq partial match in list?

Question

I have a list of partial strings that I need to match in a table. I\'m using PredicateBuilder.

var predicate = PredicateBuilder.False();
List<         


        

Answer 1

You should change your code this way

var predicate = PredicateBuilder.False();
List names = new List();
names.Add("test name"); 
names.Add("test"); 
foreach(string name in names)    
{
    string temp = name;
    predicate = predicate.Or(n => n.Company.Contains(temp));
}
var results = (from n in Names 
    .AsExpandable()
    .Where(predicate)
    select(new{ n.Company}));
