Array.Sort(intigerarray);
Array.Reverse(intigerarray);

int[] integers = intigerarray.Take(3).ToArray();
foreach (int ind in integers)
{
Console.WriteLine(ind);
}

Output
 
9 
8
7
 
For List

List<int> integerList = new List<int>();
integerList.Add(6);
integerList.Add(2);
integerList.Add(9);
integerList.Add(4);
integerList.Add(5);
integerList.Add(1);
integerList.Add(7);
integerList.Add(8);

integerList.Sort();
integerList.Reverse();
foreach (int ind in integerList.Take(3))
{
    Console.WriteLine(ind);
}
