Question

To get maximum value of a column that contains integer, I can use the following T-SQL comand

SELECT MAX(expression )
FROM tables
WHERE predicates;

Is it possible to obtain the same result with Entity Framework.

Let’s say I have the following model

public class Person
{
  public int PersonID { get; set; }
  public int Name { get; set; }
  public int Age { get; set; }
}

How do I get the oldest person’s age?

int maxAge = context.Persons.?

Answer 1

Try this int maxAge = context.Persons.Max(p => p.Age);

And make sure you have using System.Linq; at the top of your file
