Conditional to limit .Net webservice results - asp.net

Question

I'm not sure if this is the right way but I have a web service that returns json. Now I wanted to set a conditional to omit rows returned that have a value of false in cell appearInShowcase. Most of the code is pretty straight forward what it does but the cell that has a true false value is appearInShowcase which is in a table photo. In the ms sql database the appearInShowcase is of type ntext.
public List<wsGalleryPhotos> GetGalleryPhotos(int collectionID)
{
photoDataContext dc = new photoDataContext();
List<wsGalleryPhotos> results = new List<wsGalleryPhotos>();
System.Globalization.CultureInfo ci = System.Globalization.CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo("en-US");
foreach (photo photo in dc.photos.Where(s => s.collectionID == collectionID))
{
if(photo.appearInShowcase == "true")
{
results.Add(new wsGalleryPhotos()
{
photoID = photo.photoID,
collectionID = Convert.ToInt32(photo.collectionID),
name = photo.name,
description = photo.description,
filepath = photo.filepath,
thumbnail = photo.thumbnail
});
}
}
return results;
}

if you want to add a condition, you should do it like this:
public List<wsGalleryPhotos> GetGalleryPhotos(int collectionID)
{
photoDataContext dc = new photoDataContext();
List<wsGalleryPhotos> results = new List<wsGalleryPhotos>();
System.Globalization.CultureInfo ci = System.Globalization.CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo("en-US");
results = dc.photos.Where(s => s.collectionID == collectionID && s.appearInShowcase == "true")
.Select(s => new wsGalleryPhotos
{
photoID = s.photoID,
collectionID = collectionID,
name = s.name,
description = s.description,
filepath = s.filepath,
thumbnail = s.thumbnail
}).ToList();
return results;
}
