VB.Net – LINQ Query with an Extension Method

In this program, we will use a LINQ query with extension method Take() and print 3 elements of the array after sorting the array elements.

Program/Source Code:

The source code to demonstrate the LINQ query with the extension method is given below. The given program is compiled and executed successfully.

Module Module1
    Sub Main()
        Dim intVals() As Integer = {50, 20, 40, 35, 10, 27, 60}

        Dim result = (From n In intVals
                      Order By n).Take(3)

        Console.WriteLine("Result: ")
        For Each val As Integer In result
            Console.Write(val & " ")
        Next
        Console.WriteLine()
    End Sub
End Module

Output

Result:
10 20 27

Explanation

In the above program, we created a module Module1 that contains the Main() function. The Main() function is the entry point for the program.

In the Main() function, we created an integer array that contains 7 elements. Here, we used LINQ query with extension method Take() to print the first 3 elements after sorting the array elements on the console screen.
