        }

        Dim Result = From emp In empList
                     Skip While emp.salary < 7000
                     Select emp

        Console.WriteLine("Employees: ")
        For Each emp In Result
            Console.WriteLine(emp.id & " " & emp.name & " " & emp.age & " " & emp.salary)
        Next
    End Sub
End Module

Output

Employees:
102 Arun 22 7000
103 Aman 23 6000
104 Amar 21 6700
105 Akki 26 7500

Explanation

In the above program, we created a module Module1 that contains the Employee class and a Main() function. The Employee class contains the data member id, name, age, and salary.

The Main() function is the entry point for the program. In the Main() function, we created a list of employees and then skip the employee records in the collection till the specified condition is true using the "skip while" operator in LINQ syntax, and after that, we printed the result on the console screen.
