Question

I current have a LINQ expression, although I would like to know it its possible to use the “orderby” directive in conjunction with a specific field in this case “CDGenre” e.g.

DataClassesDataContext db = new DataClassesDataContext (); {
from p in db.ArtistName
**orderby p.CDGenre** accending;
select p.CDTitle;
}

Will this statement achieve this?

Answer 1

The syntax looks right to me, there’s also the option of:

(from p in db.ArtistName
select p.CDTitle).OrderBy(p => p.CDGenre);

edit: you could select into an object if you want multiple things in the select statement:

(from p in db.ArtistName
select new CDObject(p.CDTitle,p.CDGenre,p.CDArtist)).OrderBy(p => p.CDGenre);
