Linq to SQL - Return top n rows

Question

I want to return the TOP 100 records using Linq.

Answer 1

Use the Take extension method.

var query = db.Models.Take(100);

Answer 2

You want to use Take(N);

var data = (from p in people
           select p).Take(100);

If you want to skip some records as well you can use Skip, it will skip the first N number:

var data = (from p in people
           select p).Skip(100);

Answer 3

"Take"

Example: var query = (from foo in bar).Take(100)
