The Count<TSource>(IQueryable<TSource>^) method generates a MethodCallExpression that represents calling Count<TSource>(IQueryable<TSource>^) itself as a constructed generic method. It then passes the MethodCallExpression to the Execute<TResult>(Expression^) method of the IQueryProvider represented by the Provider property of the source parameter.
The query behavior that occurs as a result of executing an expression tree that represents calling Count<TSource>(IQueryable<TSource>^) depends on the implementation of the type of the source parameter. The expected behavior is that it counts the number of items in source.
