why is this linq query return a boolean and not the first result of the select?

Question

I have a string array with 5 items. How to get one of these 5 items by a linq query?

Code below returns only a boolean true.

string[] allWebTemplateSettings =SiteLidmaatschapSettings.Current.ProvisioningSettings;
var webTemplate = allWebTemplateSettings
           .Select(x => x.StartsWith(string.Format("Template:{0}", web.WebTemplate)))
           .FirstOrDefault();

Answer 1

Use Where instead of Select:

var webTemplate = allWebTemplateSettings.Where(x => x.StartsWith(string.Format("Template:{0}", web.WebTemplate))).FirstOrDefault();
