Question

How do I query using Ling to Entities.

I want to get back the total number of rows for a specific user.

I created a table with an ID(PK), Username, and PhoneNumber.

In my controller, I am able to do this and see my entities:

public ActionResult UserInfo()
        {
            using (UserInfoEntities db = new UserInfoEntities())
            {

            }
            return View();
        }

How do I query to return the total number of rows and declare it to a variable (totalrows) so that I can do thge following:

ViewData["TotalRows"] = totalrows

If there is a better way I am open to suggestions…

Thanks!!

Probably something like:

int count = db.SomeTable.Where(r => r.Username.Equals("username")).Count();
