Type:
System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<'TSource>

If type TSource implements IComparable<'T>, this method uses that implementation to compare values. Otherwise, if type TSource implements IComparable, that implementation is used to compare values.
If TSource is a reference type and the source sequence is empty or contains only values that are null, this function returns null.
In Visual Basic query expression syntax, an Aggregate Into Min() clause translates to an invocation of Min.
The following code example demonstrates how to use Min<'TSource>(IEnumerable<'TSource>) to determine the minimum value in a sequence of IComparable<'T> objects.
