title: MVC4 ToList() show first few records
body: <p>I'm just learning how to use .net and mvc4 and I have a problem. I have no idea how to show only the first 5(or any number) rows in a table. This is how I'm currently sending my information to the view.</p>
  
  <pre><code>public ActionResult ActiveCampaigns()
  {
      var campaigns = db.ActiveCampaigns.ToList();
      return View(campaigns);
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Thanks :)</p>
  
  <p>Update:
  Thanks for the quick responses! So simple!</p>
  
  <pre><code>db.ActiveCampaigns.Take(5).ToList()
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I searched high and low and couldn't find this, my google-fu must be off. Thanks again!</p>
