How to retrieve last object in sorted Binding list (.Net, LINQ)?

Question

I have a BindingList with Comment objects inside. Comment contains DateTime and string

I need to order list by date (latest date last) and get string without making copies of BindingList nor affecting it's order.

How can such be accomplished?

Answer 1

To retrieve all of the strings, you can use:

IEnumerable<string> theStringsInOrder = theBindingList.OrderByDescending(c => c.Date).Select(c => c.TheString);

For the string associated with the "max" date:

string latestString = theBindingList.OrderByDescending(c => c.Date).First().TheString;
