Counting Using Group By Linq

Question

I have an object that looks like this:

Notice  {     string Name,     string Address  } 

In a List<Notice> I want to output All distinct Name and how many times the particular appears in the collection.

For example:

Notice1.Name="Travel" Notice2.Name="Travel" Notice3.Name="PTO" Notice4.Name="Direct" 

I want the output

Travel - 2 PTO - 1 Direct -1 

I can get the distinct names fine with this code but I can't seem to get the counts all in 1 linq statement

  theNoticeNames= theData.Notices.Select(c => c.ApplicationName).Distinct().ToList(); 

Answer 1

var noticesGrouped = notices.GroupBy(n => n.Name).                      Select(group =>                          new                          {                              NoticeName = group.Key,                              Notices = group.ToList(),                              Count = group.Count()                          });
