ImageI'm having a problem to develop a form that can be search by multiple search boxes.....when i'm trying to search name and email together ActionResult...compiler says both linq queries cannot be applied with && operator..i don.t know why...





[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Login(string search,string search2)
{
var obj = db.Emps.Where(x => x.Employee_name.StartsWith(search)) && db.Emps.Where(x=>x.Employee_email.StartsWith(search2));
return View(obj);

          You need to use both conditions inside single Where



          [HttpPost]
          public ActionResult Login(string search,string search2)
          {
          var obj = db.Emps.Where(x => x.Employee_name.StartsWith(search) && x.Employee_email.StartsWith(search2));
          return View(obj);
          }

            If you look at your current code, the first part db.Emps.Where(x => x.Employee_name.StartsWith(search)) is going to return a collection, IQueryable<Emp>
            and the second part of the expression will also return the same type, IQueryable<Emp>.



            So your code is basically trying to execute/compile the expression IQueryable<Emp> && IQueryable<Emp> and since it is not valid, the compiler is telling you that it is not valid.



            Ideally, you should have both of your WHERE condition predicates inside the same Where method.



            var obj = db.Emps.Where(x => x.Employee_name.StartsWith(search) 
            && x.Employee_email.StartsWith(search2));


            Keep in mind that, the variable obj is still of type IQueryable<Emp>. If you want to execute your LINQ query, you may call the ToList() method.



            List<Emp> = db.Emps.Where(x => x.Employee_name.StartsWith(search) 
            && x.Employee_email.StartsWith(search2)).ToList();


            If you make the above change, make sure your view is strongly typed to List<Emp> instead of IQueryable
