Finding the count of entities using using ObjectContext in Entity Data Model

The best part of using Entity Data Model designer is having the facility to use LINQ with the objectcontext.

Now consider you have the object-layer code created as follows-

/// 

/// No Metadata Documentation available.
/// 
public partial class InventoryEntities : ObjectContext
{

//autogenerated code
 /// 

        /// No Metadata Documentation available.
        /// 
        public ObjectSet Products
        {
            get
            {
                if ((_Products == null))
                {
                    _Products = base.CreateObjectSet("Products");
                }
                return _Products ;
            }
        }
        private ObjectSet _Products; 

}

To find the list of products in the database the code should be

InventoryEntities inventory = new InventoryEntities ();
long cnt = inventory.Products.Execute(MergeOption.AppendOnly).LongCount();
