MaxBy in .NET 6+ allows us to find the item with the max value for a particular property in a collection

 

using System;
using System.Linq;
using System.Collections.Generic;

public class Program
{
    public static void Main()
    {
        List<Employee> employees = new()
        {

            new Employee () { Name = "David", HoursPerweek = 40 },
            new Employee () { Name = "Patrick", HoursPerweek = 35 },
            new Employee () { Name = "Michelle", HoursPerweek = 60 },
            new Employee () { Name = "Julie", HoursPerweek = 50 }
        };

        // new MaxBy in .Net 6+
        var longestHoursDotnet6 = employees.MaxBy(p => p.HoursPerweek);
        Console.WriteLine(longestHoursDotnet6?.Name);

        // One example might use currently...
        var longestHours = employees.OrderByDescending(p => p.HoursPerweek).FirstOrDefault();
        Console.WriteLine(longestHours?.Name);
    }
}

public class Employee
{
    public string Name { get; set; }

    public int HoursPerweek { get; set; }
}
