Question

Morning,

I would like to know how to write the following SQL statement in LINQ.

 SELECT TOP 6 * FROM Questions
 ORDER BY NEWID()

I would also like to know, how i could bind this to a asp.net repeater control to display the 6 questions.

Many thanks 🙂

Answer 1

The Linq style would be

 Questions.OrderBy(q=>Guid.NewGuid()).Take(6)

then you attach that to a repeater by setting its DataSource property to the above, and calling the DataBind method.
