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

Using extension methods:

List items = GetItems();

var rangeTotals = items.GroupBy(x => new { x.Date, x.Range }) // Group by Date + Range
                  .Select(g => new { 
                              Date = g.Key.Date, 
                              Range = g.Key.Range, 
                              Total = g.Count() // Count total of identical ranges per date
                              });

var rangeMaxTotals = rangeTotals.Where(rt => !rangeTotals.Any(z => z.Date == rt.Date && z.Total > rt.Total)); // Get maximum totals for each date
