LINQ Dynamic Count Examples

C# Dynamic LINQ Count examples using an Expression Evaluator.

Count - Simple

This C# example uses the LINQ Count method with a dynamic expression to get the number of unique factors of 300.

LINQ

int[] factorsOf300 = {2, 2, 3, 5, 5};

var uniqueFactors = factorsOf300.Distinct().Count();

Console.WriteLine("There are {0} unique factors of 300.", uniqueFactors);

LINQ Execute

int[] factorsOf300 = {2, 2, 3, 5, 5};

var uniqueFactors = factorsOf300.Distinct().Execute<int>("Count()");

Console.WriteLine("There are {0} unique factors of 300.", uniqueFactors);

There are 3 unique factors of 300.


## Count - Conditional
This C# example uses the LINQ Count method with a dynamic expression to get the number of odd ints in the array.

### LINQ
```csharp
int[] numbers = {5, 4, 1, 3, 9, 8, 6, 7, 2, 0};

var oddNumbers = numbers.Count(n => n % 2 == 1);

Console.WriteLine("There are {0} odd numbers in the list.", oddNumbers);

Try it online

LINQ Dynamic

int[] numbers = {5, 4, 1, 3, 9, 8, 6, 7, 2, 0};

var oddNumbers = numbers.Count(n => "n % 2 == 1");

Console.WriteLine("There are {0} odd numbers in the list.", oddNumbers);

Try it online

LINQ Execute

int[] numbers = {5, 4, 1, 3, 9, 8, 6, 7, 2, 0};

var oddNumbers = numbers.Execute<int>("Count(n => n % 2 == 1)");

Console.WriteLine("There are {0} odd numbers in the list.", oddNumbers);

Try it online

Result

highlight text %} LINQ Execute Test

There are 5 odd numbers in the list.


## Count - Nested
This C# example uses the LINQ Count method with a dynamic expression to return a list of customers and how many orders each has.

### LINQ
```csharp
private void uiCount_Nested_LINQ_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
	var customers = My.GetCustomerList();

	var orderCounts = customers.Select(c => new {c.CustomerID, OrderCount = c.Orders.Count()});

	var sb = new StringBuilder();

	My.ObjectDumper.Write(sb, orderCounts);

	My.Result.Show(My.LinqResultType.Linq, uiResult, sb);
}

LINQ Execute

private void uiCount_Nested_LINQ_Execute_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
	var customers = My.GetCustomerList();

	var orderCounts = customers.Execute("Select(c => new { c.CustomerID, OrderCount = c.Orders.Count() })");

	var sb = new StringBuilder();

	My.ObjectDumper.Write(sb, orderCounts);

	My.Result.Show(My.LinqResultType.LinqExecute, uiResult, sb);
}

Result

highlight text %} LINQ Execute Test

## Count - Grouped
This C# example uses the LINQ Count method with a dynamic expression to return a list of categories and how many products each has.

### LINQ
```csharp
private void uiCount_Grouped_LINQ_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
	var products = My.GetProductList();

	var categoryCounts = products.GroupBy(p => p.Category).Select(g => new {Category = g.Key, ProductCount = g.Count()});

	var sb = new StringBuilder();

	My.ObjectDumper.Write(sb, categoryCounts);

	My.Result.Show(My.LinqResultType.Linq, uiResult, sb);
}

LINQ Execute

private void uiCount_Grouped_LINQ_Execute_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
	var products = My.GetProductList();

	var categoryCounts = products.Execute("GroupBy(p => p.Category).Select(g => new { Category = g.Key, ProductCount = g.Count() })");

	var sb = new StringBuilder();

	My.ObjectDumper.Write(sb, categoryCounts);

	My.Result.Show(My.LinqResultType.LinqExecute, uiResult, sb);
}

Result
