Linq distinct & max

Question

I have to query this table:

symbol    time
------    ----------
aaa       2013-04-18 09:10:28.000    
bbb       2013-04-18 09:10:27.000    
aaa       2013-04         


        

Answer 1

try out this

var q = MyTable.GroupBy(x => x.symbol )
               .Select(g => g.OrderByDescending(i => i.time).First());

or use max like this

 var data = from r in MyTable
                   group r by r.symbol into g
                   select new { name= g.Key, data= g.Max(a=>a.time) };
