I have the following code that gives me a list of id and names from the new ASP.NET MVC5 Identity:

        var identityStore = new IdentityStore();
        var users =
          (
              from user in identityStore.DbContext.Set<User>()
              select new
              {
                  id = user.Id,
                  name = user.UserName
              }
          );

How could I modify this so that it allows me to check if a UserName exists?

Here's the user class:

public class User : IUser
{
    public User();
    public User(string userName);

    [Key]
    public string Id { get; set; }
    public virtual ICollection<UserLogin> Logins { get; set; }
    public virtual UserManagement Management { get; set; }
    public virtual ICollection<UserRole> Roles { get; set; }
    public string UserName { get; set; }
}
