using EntityFrameworkCore_ConsoleApp.Models;

namespace EntityFrameworkCore_ConsoleApp
{
    public class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            using (var databaseContext = new DatabaseContext())
            {
                var count = databaseContext.Products.Count();
                Console.WriteLine("Count: " + count);
            }
        }
    }
}

Output

Count: 8

You can add condition to Count method as below:

using EntityFrameworkCore_ConsoleApp.Models;

namespace EntityFrameworkCore_ConsoleApp
{
    public class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            using (var databaseContext = new DatabaseContext())
            {
                var count1 = databaseContext.Products.Count(product => product.Status == true);
                Console.WriteLine("Count 1: " + count1);

                var count2 = databaseContext.Products.Count(product => product.Price >= 5 && product.Price <= 10);
                Console.WriteLine("Count 2: " + count2);
            }
        }
    }
}

Output

Count 1: 4
Count 2: 2

You can use combination of Count method and Where method as below:

using EntityFrameworkCore_ConsoleApp.Models;

namespace EntityFrameworkCore_ConsoleApp
{
    public class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            using (var databaseContext = new DatabaseContext())
            {
                var count = databaseContext.Products.Where(product => product.Status == true).Count();
                Console.WriteLine("Count: " + count);
            }
        }
    }
}

Output

Count: 4
