Max Method in LINQ MeThods in Entity Framework Core

Max method is used to find max value of any numeric column in database.

using EntityFrameworkCore_ConsoleApp.Models;

namespace EntityFrameworkCore_ConsoleApp
{
    public class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            using (var databaseContext = new DatabaseContext())
            {
                var max = databaseContext.Products.Max(product => product.Price);
                Console.WriteLine("Max: " + max);
            }
        }
    }
}

Output

Max: 43

You can use combination of Max method and Where method as below:

using EntityFrameworkCore_ConsoleApp.Models;

namespace EntityFrameworkCore_ConsoleApp
{
    public class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            using (var databaseContext = new DatabaseContext())
            {
                var max = databaseContext.Products.Where(product => product.Status == true).Max(product => product.Price);
                Console.WriteLine("Max: " + max);
            }
        }
    }
}

Output

Max: 19

You can use combination of Max method and Where method and Select method as below:

using EntityFrameworkCore_ConsoleApp.Models;

namespace EntityFrameworkCore_ConsoleApp
{
    public class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            using (var databaseContext = new DatabaseContext())
            {
                var max = databaseContext.Products.Where(product => product.Status == true).Select(product => product.Price).Max();
                Console.WriteLine("Max: " + max);
            }
        }
    }
}

Output

Max: 19
