        using (studentContext sc = new studentContext())
        {
            var entity = sc.Students.Where(x => x.Name.StartsWith(name)) ;

            if (entity != null)
            {
                return Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.OK, entity);
            }

            else
            {
                return Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.NotFound, "Staff with name:" + name.ToString() + "not found");
            }
