I have a Customer object which has a collection of ContactNumbers. Is it possible with LINQ to get a list of Customers where one of the contact numbers = '123'?

I've got the following ADO.NET Entity Framework Entity Data Model:I want to find all the Policyholders with both a Service of a given Id and also a Keyword of a given Status.
This LINQ Does Not Work:
Dim ServicesId As Integer = ...
Dim KeywordStatus As Integer = ...
Dim FoundPolicyholders = From p As Policyholder In db.PolicyholderSet.Include("Keywords").Include("Services") _
Where p.Services.Id = ServicesId _
And p.Keywords.Status = KeywordStatus _
Select p
The Where clause cannot search the p.Services and p.Keywords EntityCollections in that way.

On my view there is a datatable holding a collection of ServerRow and 4 textboxes (Hostname, OS, Location, Zone). When the user types into any of the 4 boxes I want to immediately filter this list. I have this code setup and ready to go that on the set method of each textbox property I call the filter method.
Now onto the problem: if I have 4 criteria that means I have 2 to the power of 4 different scenarios. What I would like to do is write a linq statement with all of these scenarios dealt with such that if any of the properties are NullOrEmpty they will not be used in the Where clause and on the flip side if there is a value the corresponding field will be searched with a Contains.
Example
AvailableCis = New ObservableCollection(Of ServerRow)
(_CiData.Where(Function(ci) ci.OS.ToUpper
.Equals(_selectedOS.ToUpper) AndAlso
ci.HostName.ToUpper.Contains(_ciNameFilterText.ToUpper))
.OrderBy(Function(a) a.CiName))
This example shows how it works with 2 criteria and both of those criteria are set.
Is this the most straight forward way to return a typed collection?Here's the key line of code which returns a implicit type of IEnumerable that used to manually loop through to manually recreated a TYPED collection.

I am using LinqPad to learn Linq by querying the NetFlix OData source.Here is the query I got working which is awesome.[code].....
(Pardon all the comments...it is a testament to the fact I am experimenting and that I will change the query for various needs).There are two thing I cannot figure out.First.Let's say I only want to return the first 10 results.Second (and most importantly). I want to filter by a partial string of the genre.Each title contains a Genres collection. I want to show only Genres where the Name contains a certain string (like "Family").Even better filter using Titles where genre.name.contains "firstFilter" AND "secondFilter".Basically, I want to filter by genre(s) and I cannot figure out how to do it since Title contains its own Genres collection and I cannot figure out how to return only title that are in one or more genres of the collection.

Now when I go to iterate through the collection(see example below), I get an error that says "Name "x" is not declared. For Each x in Infos It's like VB.NET doesn't understand that Infos is a collection of anonymous types created by LINQ and wants me to declare "x" as some type.

I get the following string expression provided:"ChildObject.FullName" ...where ChildObject is an instance property on the MyObject1 type.ChildObject has a property named "FullName" and I want to sort a collection of type "MyObject1" based on this child properties "FullName" value.
I can do this all day long on properties directly on MyObject1 but I run into 2 challanges when doing it on a child instance and I can't get all the pieces working. The main 2 challanges are:
MyObject1 has a few different child property types so I can't hardcode the type for ChildObject. The string could be of any type.The sort expression is a String and not a known type.Above the value returned from the last line in the expression (if I run the code outsode the OrderBy method, does provide me the 'FullName' information I need. So the code must be close, but it still does not work.
Any ideas on how I can accomplish this? What I am trying to prevent is hardcoding a series of 'If' blocks on the child's type to then hardcode in its type to the sort or OrderBy method.
This is really a continuation from my earlier post. I've never worked with this datatype/collection (system.collection.generic.Ienumerable) before so I'm struggling to declare the query globally so I can reference the results within other sub routines/functions. I also am struggling to convert it to other types.how I can convert the collection of xml elements/system.collection.generic.Ienumerable into an xmltextreader (I know I will have to change the query below as it select the value of the node and not the node itself) I imagine by converting the query result to system.IO.stream My first port of call was MSDN but I find the material very difficult to understand for this particular subject.
