How to get the Max() of a Count() with LINQ

Question

I\'m new to LINQ and I have this situation. I have this table:

ID Date  Range
1 10/10/10 9-10
2 10/10/10 9-10
3 10/10/10 9-10
4 10/10/10 8-9
5 10/11/10 1-2
6 10/         


        

Answer 1

I think something along these lines should work:

List items = GetItems();
var orderedByMax = from i in items
                   group i by i.Date into g
                   let q = g.GroupBy(i => i.Range)
                            .Select(g2 => new {Range = g2.Key, Count = g2.Count()})
                            .OrderByDescending(i => i.Count)
                   let max = q.FirstOrDefault()
                   select new {
                      Date = g.Key,
                      Range = max.Range,
                      Total = max.Count
                   };
