Concat linq to objects Or queries with LINQKIT during runtime

Question

I have a list of multiple values 3,5,10.

Now I want to create a linq .where filter during runtime with the Or operator.

How can I do this using LINQKit? Or with plain linq but I dont think its possible.

E.g. this would be a hardcoded version:

var filter = mydata.Where(v => v.state == "3" || v.state == "5" || v.state == "10");

This would filter mydata array dynamically.

But I do not want it to be hardcoded!

Try `Where(v => list.Contains(v.state))`. – Yacoub Massad Apr 25 '16 at 13:22 — Yacoub Massad, Apr 25 '16 at 13:22

You can simply use the Contains method like this:

var filter = mydata.Where(v => list.Contains(v.state));
