Randomly Select Rows from a Datatable in C#

Sometimes we need to show some random rows from a datatable in c#.For achieving this we can use Random Class which is present in base class library and create a random number .Now we use this random number to order datatable. Here is the code snippet for the same.

var rand = new Random();
var employees = employee.AsEnumerable().OrderBy(r => rand.Next());

Further we can select limited number of rows by slightly modifying the above syntax.

var rand = new Random();
var employees = employee.AsEnumerable().OrderBy(r => rand.Next()).Take(10);

Take method will select number of rows specified as parameter.
