How to filter contacts by name

I'm developing a windows phone 7 application. I'm trying to understand how I'm supposed to filter contacts by letters. I want to display the keyboard to the user and show all the contacts. If the user pushes "a" everyone with an a in the name should be shown.

Please tell me this is possible. I'm getting more and more frustrated with this API..

It might be easier if you actually show us some code to show where you've got to so far.

It sounds like what you need is the AutoCompleteBox from the Silverlight Toolkit for Windows Phone 7. There's a good post on WindowsPhoneGeek.com: AutoCompleteBox for WP7 in depth, which should show you how to use this control.
