Count resulted records using linq to sql - asp.net

Question

i use linq to sql query for retrive records from database.
i use a query,for binding a gridview.
protected void grdBind()
{
try
{
EventManagerDataContext db = new EventManagerDataContext();
var z = (from x in db.EMR_EVENTs
join y in db.EMR_CLIENTs on x.ClientID equals y.ClientID
where y.ClientID==x.EventID
select x.EventID).Count();
var q = from a in db.EMR_CLIENTs
join b in db.EMR_EVENTs on a.ClientID equals b.ClientID
join c in db.EMR_ACCOUNTs on a.ClientID equals c.ClientID
join d in db.EMR_SUBSCRIPTIONs on c.Account_ID equals d.Account_ID
join f in db.EMR_SUBSCRIPTION_KINDs on d.Subscription_kind_ID equals f.Subscription_kind_ID
select new
{
Customer = a.Name,
Events = z,
TurnOver = f.Monthly_Fee,
StartDate = d.Start_Date,
EndDate = d.End_Date,
CreteDate = d.Create_Date,
ClientID = a.ClientID,
EventID = b.EventID,
SubscriptionID = d.Subscription_ID,
Subscription_kind_ID=f.Subscription_kind_ID,
Account_ID=c.Account_ID,
};
grid.DataSource = q.ToList();
grid.PageSize = int.Parse(drpPageSize.SelectedValue);
grid.DataBind();
}
catch
{
throw;
}
}
and i recieve this output for that,
i recieve this output for this query but i don't want this output ,
i want like this output.
clientname events
ketan 18
monika 12
and others records so on means i recieve here client name 9 times and he created events but i want some of events and client name only one time
means i want only one name of client and total number of events,i am new to linq to sql.
so what is the changes in code..?

Answer 1

when you are using join syntax in query you do not need to use 'where'
then change your query to :
var z = (from x in db.EMR_EVENTs
join y in db.EMR_CLIENTs on x.ClientID equals y.ClientID
select x.EventID).Count();

i found solution .here
ans also use with this.useful link
here is my solution.
EventManagerDataContext db = new EventManagerDataContext();
var q = from a in db.EMR_CLIENTs
join b in db.EMR_EVENTs on a.ClientID equals b.ClientID into z
join c in db.EMR_ACCOUNTs on a.ClientID equals c.ClientID
join d in db.EMR_SUBSCRIPTIONs on c.Account_ID equals d.Account_ID
join f in db.EMR_SUBSCRIPTION_KINDs on d.Subscription_kind_ID equals f.Subscription_kind_ID
select new
{
Customer = a.Name,
Events =z.Where(b =>b.ClientID==a.ClientID).Count(),
TurnOver = f.Monthly_Fee,
StartDate = d.Start_Date,
EndDate = d.End_Date,
CreteDate = d.Create_Date,
ClientID = a.ClientID,
SubscriptionID = d.Subscription_ID,
Subscription_kind_ID=f.Subscription_kind_ID,
Account_ID=c.Account_ID,
};
grid.DataSource = q.ToList();
