group by using linq c# on entity framework

Question

I need to group by Names and to sum all the instance of the name this is my code in the controller:

public class FansController : Controller
{
    private dbFan          


        

Answer 1

var result = from f in db.fans
             group 1 by f.Name into g
             select new { Name = g.Key, Amount = g.Count() };

Now the @model should currently be:

• IEnumerable. From: view with IEnumerable of object type in MVC: @model IEnumerable
• or that you create a class containing the two properties.
