Get the most common string in an array

Question

I have a string array with values ​​in it (duh ...).

Is there an easy way to get the record that is most found? Sort of

values[37].getMostOften(); 

Greetings :)

You can use GroupBy :

 var mostCommonValue = values.GroupBy(v => v) .OrderByDescending(g => g.Count()) .Select(g => g.Key) .FirstOrDefault();
