title: GETDATE() in LINQ
body: <p>What is the alternate for <code>GETDATE()</code> in LINQ? </p>
  
  <p>I got some workaround from the following post:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/200617/how-do-i-use-sqls-getdate-and-dateadd-in-a-linq-to-sql-expression"><strong>How do I use SQL's GETDATE() and DATEADD() in a Linq to SQL expression?</strong></a></li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Is there any <strong><em>better</em></strong> approach? In which, there is no need to an <code>ExecuteQuery</code> or a separate function call?</p>
