Example

The following example uses the BeginsWith element within a string that is assigned to the Query property to return the titles of items within a list where a Journal column begins with "City".

SPWeb mySite = SPControl.GetContextWeb(Context);
SPList list = mySite.Lists["List_Name "];
SPQuery query = new SPQuery();
query.Query = "<Where>" +
                "<BeginsWith>" +
                  "<FieldRef Name="Journal"/>" +
                  "<Value Type="Note">City</Value>" +
                "</BeginsWith>" +
              "</Where>";
SPListItemCollection myItems = list.GetItems(query);
foreach (SPListItem item in myItems)
{
   Label1.Text += item["Title"] + "<BR>";
}
