Selecting an object from a list based on the name

I have certain number of objects in a list, I would like to select one object from the list based on the name. I have tried the following code. It doesn't yield any [Enumeration Yielded no results ]. It is bit strange. Could anybody help with this? . My code is below

var tableobj = from table in tableOfObjects 
                     where tableOfObjects.ToString().Contains(objName)
                     select table;

Here tableOfObjects contains certain number of objects and, objName is to select an object based on the name of the object

Update::::::::::::::::::::::

tableOfObjects contains certain number of class objects it is defined as ListtableOfObjects

try this

   var tableobj = from table in tableOfObjects
                       where table.ToString().Contains(objName)
                       select table;

you can use the typeOf for checking object.

 var tableobj=tableOfObjects.Where(p=>typeOf(p)==typeOf(obj));

or 

var tableobj = from table in tableOfObjects 
                 where table.ToString().Contains(objName)
                 select table;
