Solution 1

use LINQ

C#

int[] anArray = { 1, 5, 2, 7 ,8,3,6,9};
int[] max5items = anArray.OrderByDescending(x=>x).Take(5).ToArray();

Solution 3

Just use Array.Sort method which will sort all the values in the array in ascending order then fetch first 5 values.

Solution 2

You can sort your array using Sort function and pick up first 5 elements:

Code to sort your Array:

C#

int[] intArray = new int[5] { 8, 10, 2, 6, 3 };
Array.Sort(intArray);
