Entity framework strings using greater than operator

c#, entity-framework-4.1, t-sql

Solution

Try using `.CompareTo()`:

from r in results
where (r.ExemptionCode.CompareTo("900") > 0  || r.ExemptionCode == "701" || r.ExemptionCode == "702" ||     r.ExemptionCode == "721" || r.ExemptionCode == "724")
select r

Problem

How do I make this query work like it does in sql? In sql I can use `<` and `>` operators on strings. I've been googling this for about 20 minutes and have found no solution yet. I cannot convert r.ExemptionCode to an integer as it may have values like '91A,9AA,ZZZ,Z01' ``` from r in results where (r.ExemptionCode > "900" || r.ExemptionCode == "701" || r.ExemptionCode == "702" || r.ExemptionCode == "721" || r.ExemptionCode == "724") select r ```
