I need this query in Linq :

I have tried this query,but unable to group by.

My Linq Query :

var data = (from xx in VDC.SURVEY_FOLDER
                        join yy in VDC.SURVEY_TEMPLATE
                        on xx.FOLDER_ID equals yy.FOLDER_ID into g
                        from grt in g.DefaultIfEmpty()
                        select
                        new
                        {
                            xx.FOLDER_NAME,
                            xx.CREATED_DATE,
                            count = g.Count()
                        }).ToList();

Answer 1

I got the Answer :

var data5 = (from SF in VDC.SURVEY_FOLDER
                         join ST in VDC.SURVEY_TEMPLATE on new { FOLDER_ID = SF.FOLDER_ID } equals new { FOLDER_ID = (Int64)ST.FOLDER_ID } into ST_join
                         from ST in ST_join.DefaultIfEmpty()
                         group new { SF, ST } by new
                         {
                             SF.FOLDER_NAME,
                             SF.CREATED_DATE
                         } into g
                         select new
                         {
                             g.Key.FOLDER_NAME,
                             CREATED_DATE = (DateTime?)g.Key.CREATED_DATE,
                             Column1 = (Int64?)g.Count(p => p.ST.FOLDER_ID != null)
                         }).ToList();
