Get X random elements from table in database using Linq or lambda in C#

Question

I have a database with x amount users and I want to randomly get all the users and then write like 50 users out on my site. Right now I\'m only using .take(50)

Answer 1

Extension Without Random

public static class MyExtensions
{
    public static IEnumerable GetRandomItems(this IEnumerable source, Int32 count)
    {
        return source.OrderBy(s => Guid.NewGuid()).Take(count);
    }
}

And now you can

userList = userList.GetRandomItems().ToList();
