Like Operator in Entity Framework?

by

I don’t know anything about EF really, but in LINQ to SQL you usually express a LIKE clause using String.Contains:

where entity.Name.Contains("xyz")

translates to

WHERE Name LIKE '%xyz%'

(Use StartsWith and EndsWith for other behaviour.)

I’m not entirely sure whether that’s helpful, because I don’t understand what you mean when you say you’re trying to implement LIKE. If I’ve misunderstood completely, let me know and I’ll delete this answer 🙂
