Question

Answer 1

String [] obj = (from c in db.Contacts
                           where c.FirstName.StartsWith(prefixText)
                           select c.FirstName).ToArray();
            return obj;

StartsWith() and EndsWith() can help you a lot here. If you want to find data in between the field, then Contains() can be used.
