LINQ : ToArray() and Take()

Using the usual LINQPad and the Northwind DB:

So we first get the last names from the Employees table and put them into a string array using the ToArray() construct and then we get the first 4 using the Take() construct.

string [] allEmployees1 = Employees.Select (e => e.LastName).Take(4).ToArray();

allEmployees1.Dump();

foreach (string s in allEmployees1)
Console.WriteLine(s);

Enjoy!
