LINQ query to select top five

Question

I have a LINQ query:

var list = from t in ctn.Items
           where t.DeliverySelection == true && t.Delivery.SentForDelivery == null
           ord         


        

Answer 1

[Offering a somewhat more descriptive answer than the answer provided by @Ajni.]

This can also be achieved using LINQ fluent syntax:

var list = ctn.Items
    .Where(t=> t.DeliverySelection == true && t.Delivery.SentForDelivery == null)
    .OrderBy(t => t.Delivery.SubmissionDate)
    .Take(5);

Note that each method (Where, OrderBy, Take) that appears in this LINQ statement takes a lambda expression as an argument. Also note that the documentation for Enumerable.Take begins with:

Returns a specified number of contiguous elements from the start of a sequence.
