Question

I’m listing articles from Article model.

To get all of them I naturally use

var articles = db.Articles;

To get only last one:

var lastArticle = db.Articles.Last();

But now should I get, let’s say, last four?

Article model:

ID
Name
DateCreated
Image
Content

Answer 1

You can order in reverse and get the first N elements:

db.Articles.OrderByDescending(a => a.DateCreated).Take(4)

If you want the result in ascending order, you can append .OrderBy(a => a.DateCreated).
