linq select a random row

Question

I have a table called Quotes in linq-to-sql that contains 2 columns: author and quote. How do you select both columns of a random row?

Answer 1

1 First create a class with rend property

public class tbl_EmpJobDetailsEntity
{
    public int JpId { get; set; }
    public int rend
   {
    get
      {
        Random rnd = new Random();
        return rnd.Next(1, 100);
      }
    }
}

2 Linq query

var rendomise = (from v in db.tbl_EmpJobDetails
select new tbl_EmpJobDetailsEntity
{
   JpId=v.JpId
}).OrderBy(o=>o.rend);
