XDocument.Descendants("somethinghere").Count() method does not exist

Question

I am trying to do a simple count of some descendants using LINQ to XML and the "Count()" method does not exist for me?

Example:

using System.Xml.Linq;

XDocument doc = XDocument.Load( "somexmlfile" );
int count = doc.Descendants("somethinghere").Count();

The above won't compile, because it doesn't recognize the Count() method.

Do you have using System.Linq; at the top of the file?
