Question

How do I return a top 5 with rank number using linq?

Dim Top5 = From A In DAO.Cache.Select(Of VO.Empresa).Take(5) Select A.Nome

I would like this result:

Rank  Name
1     "Example Name"
2     "Example Name"
3     "Example Name"
4     "Example Name"
5     "Example Name"

Answer 1

You need to use the Select overload which provides the index:

Dim Top5 = DAO.Cache.Take(5).Select(Function(A, Index) New With { .Rank = Index, .Name = A.Nome })

(I kept the property spelling .Nome – though I suspect it may need to be .Name)
