Thanks - thus far it looks like this has solved the issue, just doing some more testing but looking good thus far (aside from the typos mixing up LastUpdated and UpdateTracker).]]> Wed, 19 Oct 2011 20:48:14 -700 http://www.ideablade.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3024&PID=11876#11876 Finding a Maximum value : Hi Delta_Rich,If you are... http://www.ideablade.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3024&PID=11874#11874 Author: sbelini

Hi Delta_Rich,
 
If you are simply looking for the highest UpdateTracker value, try:
 
var LastUpdated = CriticalEvents.Max(CriticalEvent => CriticalEvent.UpdateTracker);
 
Or if you want to retrieve the CriticalEvent entity with the highest UpdateTracker value, then try:
 
var LastUpdated = CriticalEvents.Where(CriticalEvent => CriticalEvent.UpdateTracker == CriticalEvents.Max(cEvent => cEvent.UpdateTracker)).First();
 
Regards,
   Silvio.

Once my ObservableCollection finishes loading, I wish tofind out what the
Maximum value of one of the elements is.

I have used the Max() function but it does not seem to reporting the correctitem

e.g. My collection is CriticalEvents and the element I am trying to get is
UpdateTracker (which is a decimal) the code thus goes like this:
LastUpdated = CriticalEvents.Max().UpdateTracker;

It does indeed return a value but it is not the maximum value of UpdateTracker
in this is collection (more like middle of the collection).

Can you please advise me of what assumption I have made that is incorrect and how to solve this issue?
