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

Answer 2

see this

Selecting count in LINQ

And try something like:

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