Hi,
I have order number and status. One order can have status either 'Pending' or "close".
The dashboard will display the order that have "Pending" and for order that have "close" status, it will be displayed in dashboard for one week. Then after 1 week it will be remove to archive. 
So here is my code:
 Controller
        public ActionResult Index()
        {
            var updateList = (from od in db.order
                              join a in db.customer
                              on od.order_num equals a.order_no  
                              select new DetailModel
                              {                                 
                                  id = od.id,
                                  order_num = od.order_num,
                                  name = a.name,
                                  invoice = od.invoice,
				  address = a.address,
				  completedate = od.completedate,
				  status = od.status
                              }
                  ).Take(1000).ToList();
            if (updateList.Count() != 0)
            {
                ViewBag.updateList = updateList;
            }
            else if (updateList.Count() == 0)
            {
                ViewBag.updateList = null;
                ViewBag.message = "No records found!";
            }
            return View();
        }
