Question

Is there a LINQ function for this is or would one have to code it themselves like this:

{
    string long         


        

Answer 1

To get the longest string in list of object/string try this:

List list = new List();
list.Add("HELLO");
list.Add("HELLO WORLD");
String maxString = list.OrderByDescending(x => x.Length).First();

The variable maxString will contain the value "HELLO WORLD"
