StartsWith results all rows

ramnz2

when I query from s in Services
where s.Code.StartsWith("")
select s
I get all my rows, isn't it suppose to return none rows...I beleive this query is asking for start with emptystring, correct? any explanation will be gladly appreciated.

Every string starts with an empty string, unless the string is null. So your query will return all rows whose code is not null.

Try running this expression:

"abc".StartsWidth("")
