Question

I have 2 columns
Name and Amount

I like the linq to return the Name based on who has the Maximum Amount.

So far I have the following:

    string name = (from nm in bg
           select nm.Name).Max(Amount);

which obviously will not work.

Thank you.

Answer 1

string name = (from nm in bg
               where nm.Amount == bg.Max(i=>i.Amount)
           select nm.Name)

or

string name = (from nm in bg
               orderby nm.Amount desc
           select nm.Name).First()
