In Umbraco 7, how can i search for all members with a custom property?

Question

I am using Umbraco 7 (C#).

Is there an easy way/method to search for all members with a custom property?

I know that there is an easy way to search for all members by the username by using the method

GetByUsername(string username) : returns IMember

And also for searcing by Email:

GetByEmail(string email) : returns IMember

Do you know of such a way to search by a property?

I have tried using the method ".Where" like so:

GetService().GetAllMembers().Cast<IMember>().Where("permalink=SOMESTRING").ToArray();

Unfortunatly there is an error, since i can't use the .Where() method here.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

You could just use the build in function in MemberService.

From the doc:

Services.MemberService

.GetMembersByPropertyValue("city", "Horsens");
//Returns all Members, of any type, with a mathcing value in the property with the given property alias
