I have already created a webpart to show the data from list, but I really want is to only show top 5 records from that list (by using CAML query).
Does anyone know how to do this? Many thanks.
<Query>
<OrderBy>
<FieldRef Name='ID' Ascending='False' />
</OrderBy>
</Query>
You could set the RowLimit property of your SPQuery object.
The
<RowLimit>tag is in the schema definition of a view (direct child of <View>) and therefore cannot be nested inside a<Query>tag.
