Usage Note

In Visual Basic and C#, you can call this method as an instance method on any object of type String. When you use instance method syntax to call this method, omit the first parameter. For more information, see Extension Methods (Visual Basic) or Extension Methods (C# Programming Guide).

The like pattern mathes directly the string with the only special character being the '%' which matches any number of characters. This method is recognized by ObjectQuery parser as a valid LINQ method for filtering data sources.
