Return ListBox with the lowest item count using LINQ

I need to find a ListBox of six on a Form with the lowest number of items in it.

How can I use the ListBox.Item.Count property in conjunction with the extension method Min() from LINQ for returning the ListBox with the lowest item count?

I tried the following, but it's not working as I want it to:

foreach (var item in Controls.OfType<ListBox>())
{
    if (item.Items.Count <= min)
    {
        listbox = item;
        min = listbox.Items.Count;
    }
}

This should do the trick:

ListBox b = Controls
    .OfType<ListBox>()
    .FirstOrDefault(lb => lb.Items.Count == listboxes.Min(l => l.Items.Count));
