Converting SQL containing top, count, group and order to LINQ (2 Entities)

Question

Some LINQ queries still puzzle me.

for a table \'Hits\' containing two columns, \'Page\' and \'Date\', I want to find the most Pages with the most rows in a defined

Answer 1

var top10hits = objectContext.Hits
  .Where(h => minDate <= h.Date && h.Date < maxDate)
  .GroupBy(h => h.Page)
  .Select(g => new { Page = g.Key, Number = g.Count() })
  .OrderByDescending(x => x.Number)
  .Take(10);

Answer 2

Something like this should work:

(from p in DataContext.Hits
where (p.Date >= minDate) && (p.Date < maxDate)
group p by p.Page into g
select new { Page = g.Key, Number = g.Count() }).OrderByDescending(x => x.Number).Take(10);
