Or, if there could be more than one, use collection.Where(s => s.StartsWith(whatever))

you can do something like this,

List<string> collection = new List<string>();
        collection.Add("example sample");
        collection.Add("sample");
        collection.Add("example");

        var varSubstring = collection.Where(x => x.IndexOf("sample")==0).ToList();
        foreach (var vartemp in varSubstring)
        {
        }
