Linq query return true or false

I have a query where it should return TRUE or FALSE.

var query = from c in db.Emp
            from d in db.EmpDetails 
            where c.ID == d.ID && c.FirstName == "A" && c.LastName == "D" 
          // It should return TRUE when this above statement matches all these conditions

and I want to attach this query result to a property(of string datatype)

this.result = Conert.ToBoolean(query);

how to achieve this in LINQ ?

EDIT:

EmpMapper class

  public class EmpMapper
  {
    EmpEntities db;
    // ID column already exists in the DB
    private int ID;
    // I am creating this property to add it from the UI side, depending on the certain conditions in the query. That is why I created a separate class to map the existing ID from the DB
    bool result;
    public EmpMapper(int ID, bool result)
    {
      this.db = new EmpEntites();
      this.ID = ID;
      var query = from c in db.Emp
            from d in db.EmpDetails 
            where c.ID == d.ID && c.FirstName == "A" && c.LastName == "D" 
          // It should return TRUE when this above statement matches all these conditions
      this.result = Convert.ToBoolean(query);
    }
   public int ID
   {
    get{return this.ID;}
    set{this.ID = value;}
   }
   public bool result
   {
    get{return this.result;}
    set{this.result = value;}
   }
   } 

MainViewModel class

      List<EmpMapper> empMapCol = new List<EmpMapper>();

     private void Page_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
      var emp_query = from c in db.Emp
                      orderby c.ID
                      select a;
     List<Emp> empCol = emp_query.ToList();
     foreach(Emp item in empCol)
     {
       this.empMapCol.Add(new EmpMapper(item.ID, item.result)); 
     }
     datagrid1.ItemsSource = empMapCol;
     }
     }

try this,

 var query = (from c in db.Emp
        from d in db.EmpDetails 
        where c.ID == d.ID && c.FirstName == "A" && c.LastName == "D"
         select c 
         ).Any(); 

  this.result = query; //no need to convert to boolean its already bool value

If I understand you correctly you want to get true if one of the results of the query matches all conditions. In that case try something like this:

var found =
    (from c in db.Emp
    from d in db.EmpDetails
    where c.ID == y.ID && c.FirstName == "A" && c.LastName == "D"
    select c).Any();

this.result = found.ToString();
