Queryable.LongCount<'TSource> Method (IQueryable<'TSource>, Expression<Func<'TSource, Boolean>>)
Returns an Int64 that represents the number of elements in a sequence that satisfy a condition.
Assembly: System.Core (in System.Core.dll)
static member LongCount<'TSource> : source:IQueryable<'TSource> * predicate:Expression<Func<'TSource, bool>> -> int64
Parameters
- source
-
Type:
System.Linq.IQueryable<'TSource>
An IQueryable<'T> that contains the elements to be counted.
- predicate
-
Type:
System.Linq.Expressions.Expression<Func<'TSource, Boolean>>
A function to test each element for a condition.
Return Value
Type: System.Int64The number of elements in source that satisfy the condition in the predicate function.
Type Parameters
- TSource
The type of the elements of source.
| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| ArgumentNullException | source or predicate is null. |
| OverflowException | The number of matching elements exceeds MaxValue. |
This method has at least one parameter of type Expression<'TDelegate> whose type argument is one of the Func<'T, 'TResult> types. For these parameters, you can pass in a lambda expression and it will be compiled to an Expression<'TDelegate>.
The LongCount<'TSource>(IQueryable<'TSource>, Expression<Func<'TSource, Boolean>>) method generates a MethodCallExpression that represents calling LongCount<'TSource>(IQueryable<'TSource>, Expression<Func<'TSource, Boolean>>) 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 LongCount<'TSource>(IQueryable<'TSource>, Expression<Func<'TSource, Boolean>>) depends on the implementation of the type of the source parameter. The expected behavior is that it counts the number of items in source that satisfy the condition specified by predicate and returns an Int64.
