{
  var MyObject = from x in MyEFTable
                     where x.CostOfLiving == \"VERY HIGH\         


        

Answer 1

try this:

System.Linq.IQueryable MyObject = null;
if(city == "New York City")
{
  MyObject = from x in MyEFTable
             where x.CostOfLiving == "VERY HIGH"
             select x.*;
}
else
{
  MyObject = from x in MyEFTable
             where x.CostOfLiving == "MODERATE"
             select x.*;
}

foreach (var item in MyObject)
{
  Console.WriteLine("");
}
