I'm trying to search a record but nothing is happen. Can anyone help me with this.

{
            var users = _SignUp.All()
                        .Select(user => new
                                {
                                    userName = user.userName,
                                    firstName = user.firstName,
                                    middleName = user.middleName,
                                    lastName = user.lastName
                                }
                               )
                        .Where(w => w.userName == userName)
                        .ToList();
            return View(users);
   }

In my Index.cshtml

Hi,

First Debug your function, that gets the username correctly. then test with following alternative,

public ActionResult SearchUser(string entereduserName)
{

var users = (from urs in _Signup
where urs.userName == entereduserName
select new
{
userName = urs.userName,
firstName = urs.firstName,
middleName = urs.middleName,
lastName = urs.lastName
}).FirstOrDefault().ToList();

return View(users);
}
