LINQ Count Method Example

Learn how to use Count method in LINQ using C#, you can get the count of entity in any collection, there is a built-in method to get count in LINQ query syntax.

int totoal= listObject.Count();

LINQ Count is Enumerable extension method, it comes under System.Linq namespace. We often use count method to get the total number of items in any collection object.

IEnumerable<string> countries = new List<string> { "India", "USA", "UK", "Canada", "Australia" };
int count = countries.Count();  

Count with Predicate example
Count the total number of items in any specified predicate

IEnumerable<int> items = new List<int> { 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 100 }; int count = items.Where(x => x < 49).Count();

Count with Query Syntax

IEnumerable<int> items = new List<int> { 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 100 };           
int count = (from n in items select n).Count();

Count method will be used as last method call in the linq query, there should not be any other method after that count call.
