C# C实体框架，简化选择使用相同条件的子属性

我有两个ef模型，比如任务和进度

然后

public class Progress()
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public int Id_Task { get; set; }
    public string Status { get; set; }
    public DateTime Update { get; set; }
}

我想获取每个任务的数据以及它的最后进度，所以我制作了一个ViewModel

public class ViewTask()
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public string Title { get; set; }
    public string Last_Status { get; set; }
    public DateTime Last_Update { get; set; }
}

现在，我就是这么做的：

var data = _context.Task
    .Select(x => new ViewTask
    {
        Id = x.Id,
        Title = x.Title,
        Last_Status = x.Progress.OrderByDescending(y => y.Update)
            .Select(y => y.Status).FirstOrDefault(),
        Last_Update = x.Progress.OrderByDescending(y => y.Update)
            .Select(y => y.Update).FirstOrDefault()
    }).ToList();

有没有更好的方法，这样我就不需要重复x。。。部分我能想到的唯一代码是这样的：

var data = _context.Task
    .Select(x => new
    {
        Id = x.Id,
        Title = x.Title,
        Progress = x.Progress.OrderByDescending(y => y.Update).FirstOrDefault()
    })
    .Select(x => new ViewTask
    {
        Id = x.Id,
        Title = x.Title,
        Last_Status = x.Progress.Status
        Last_Update = x.Progress.Update
    }).ToList();

我接受任何建议。谢谢：

您可以使用库中的MaxBy和MinBy方法

希望能有帮助

谢谢，它比我现在用的短。但是如果我还需要用在哪里呢。它仍然很长而且重复

var data = _context.Task
    .Select(x => new
    {
        Id = x.Id,
        Title = x.Title,
        Progress = x.Progress.OrderByDescending(y => y.Update).FirstOrDefault()
    })
    .Select(x => new ViewTask
    {
        Id = x.Id,
        Title = x.Title,
        Last_Status = x.Progress.Status
        Last_Update = x.Progress.Update
    }).ToList();

var data = _context.Task
.Select(x => new ViewTask
{
    Id = x.Id,
    Title = x.Title,
    Last_Status = x.Progress.MaxBy(y => y.Update).Status,
    Last_Update = x.Progress.MaxBy(y => y.Update).Update
 }).ToList();
