Answer 1

Using LINQ, you can find the 3rd highest salary like this:

// first use LINQ to sort by salary, then skip first 2 and get next
var thirdHighestSalary= (from n in db.Employee order by n.salary descending select n).distinct().skip(2).  FirstOrDefault()
// write the result to console
Console.WriteLine(Third Highest Salary is : {0},thirdHighestSalary.Salary);
