Compare method for type int

Question

I want to do the following but the only issue is that my input query is int not string and also I am searching from my RoomID which is also an integer and not a string. Let me simplify it, instead of _context.Customers.Name, I am comparing from _context.Room.Id which is an int type. This is an obligation and I have to do this. Guys ignore the .Select(Mapper.Map<>) Method, the primary focus is the int problem. I'd appreciate some help.

Answer 1

One way to solve it is to convert the integers to string and do a contain.

Ex.

var needle = 234;
var haystack = 79234826;
var contains = haystack.ToString().Contains(needle.ToString());
