Compare value to array of strings using StartsWith

Question

I have an array:

string[] exceptions = new string[] { "one", two", "one_1", "three" };

.. I want to be able to say:

var result = from c in myCollection
             where not c.Property[3].Value.StartWith(exceptions)
             select c;

So I want myCollection to be filtered to only show those records whose Property[3].Value does not StartWith a value in the exceptions array. I know StartsWith doesn't take a collection so I'm unsure if this is possible via LINQ or not.

Is this possible in LINQ?! Or am I trying to shoehorn my problem into a LINQ solution?

EDIT: I should say, Contains is not an option since I only want to exclude elements whose property startswith the exception string.

Answer 1

var result =  myCollection.Where(c =>  
                           exceptions.All(e => 
                                       !c.Property[3].Value.StartsWith(e));
