That's true, but you never would, with or without linq. That is because IEnumerable does not have such a property.

It should add a .Count() extension method, not a property. Are you coding in a language that has optional parentheses by any chance?

I had been using LINQ to Objects in a small projects and changed it to not do so, meticulously cleaned references to LINQ out (VS2008 does not seem to do that thoroughly), and had a couple of errors arise with myarrays.Count statements I had been slack enough to write previously.
