Here we will create a list of employees and then sort a list of employees using the OrderBy() method based on salary.
Program:
The source code to sort a list of employees based on salary using Linq is given below. The given program is compiled and executed successfully on Microsoft Visual Studio.
//C# program to sort the list of employees
//based on salary.
using System;
using System.Linq;
using System.Collections.Generic;
public class Employee
{
int ID;
string Name;
int Salary;
public override string ToString()
{
return ID + " " + Name+" "+Salary;
}
static void Main(string[] args)
{
List<Employee> employees = new List<Employee>()
{
new Employee {ID=101, Name="Amit " , Salary=4000},
new Employee {ID=102, Name="Gautam" , Salary=6000},
new Employee {ID=103, Name="Salman" , Salary=3000},
new Employee {ID=104, Name="Ram " , Salary=2000},
};
var result = employees.OrderBy(sal => sal.Salary);
Console.WriteLine("ID Name Salary");
Console.WriteLine("==================");
foreach (Employee emp in result)
{
Console.WriteLine(emp.ToString());
}
Console.WriteLine("==================");
}
}
Output:
ID Name Salary
==================
104 Ram 2000
103 Salman 3000
101 Amit 4000
102 Gautam 6000
==================
Press any key to continue . . .
Explanation:
In the above program, we created a class Demo that contains the Main() method. In the Main() method we created a list of employees with fields ID, Name, Salary.
var result = employees.OrderBy(sal => sal.Salary);
The above method call will return the sorted list of employees based on salary.
Console.WriteLine("ID Name Salary");
Console.WriteLine("==================");
foreach (Employee emp in result)
{
Console.WriteLine(emp.ToString());
}
Console.WriteLine("==================");
In the above code, we accessed the employee detail one by one and print on the console screen.
