Startswith is something you do on a string, not on a collection. To properly (and efficiently) get items with a certain criteria from a list, you should do a query on the list. The query can then have a "BeginsWith" or "Contains" filter parameter (see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms467521.aspx for all parameters you can specify) so you can get a collection of only the items that answer the filter criteria.

Can I do this using string StartsWith, or should I run an SPQuery against the collection?
