max date record in LINQ

Question

I have this table named sample with these values in MS Sql Server:

 ID    Date    Description
1    2012/01/02 5:12:43    Desc1
2    2012/01/02 5:12:48    Desc2
3         


        

Answer 1

Use:

var result = Sample.OrderByDescending(t => t.Date).First();

Answer 2

var lastInstDate = model.Max(i=>i.ScheduleDate);

We can get max date from the model like this.

Answer 3

List<Sample> q = Sample.OrderByDescending(T=>T.Date).Take(1).ToList();

But I think you want

Sample q = Sample.OrderByDescending(T=>T.Date).FirstOrDefault();

Answer 4

IList<Student> studentList = new List<Student>() { 
    new Student() { StudentID = 1, StudentName = "John", Age = 18 } ,
    new Student() { StudentID = 2, StudentName = "Steve",  Age = 15 } ,
    new Student() { StudentID = 3, StudentName = "Bill",  Age = 25 } ,
    new Student() { StudentID = 4, StudentName = "Ram" , Age = 20 } ,
    new Student() { StudentID = 5, StudentName = "Ron" , Age = 19 } 
};

var orderByDescendingResult = from s in studentList
                   orderby s.StudentName descending
                   select s;

Result : Steve Ron Ram John Bill

Answer 5

var result= Sample.OrderByDescending(k => k.ID).FirstOrDefault().Date;

This is the best way to do this

Answer 6

To get the maximum Sample value by date without having to sort (which is not really necessary to just get the maximum):

var maxSample  = Samples.Where(s => s.Date == Samples.Max(x => x.Date))
                        .FirstOrDefault();
