LINQ count query returns a 1 instead of a 0

Question

I have the following view:-

CREATE VIEW tbl_adjudicator_result_view
AS
SELECT a.adjudicator_id, sar.section_adjudicator_role_id, s.section_id, sdr.section_dance_         


        

Answer 1

The point is: you're grouping your data in the LINQ query - and you'll always get at least one group.

That group's Count may be 0 - but the count of groups will be 1.
