How could I count an array directed at another array in C#?

Question

public static string[] traitNames = { "Happiness", "Respect", "Authority" };
public static string[] suppliesNames = { "Food", "Iron", "Gold" };
private List<string[]> arraysNames = new List<string[]> { traitNames, suppliesNames };
string[] currentArrayNames = arraysNames[i1];
int namesCount = currentArrayNames.Count;//ERROR HERE

Hello! For some reason, on the last line where I try to Count, I get an error message over Count:

Cannot convert method group "Count" to non-delegate type 'int'.

How would I be able to Count currentArrayNames' amount of children without getting this counting error? Thanks.

Does this answer your question? Setting a List to another List in C# — elcortegano

Remove using System.Linq and the error will suddenly make more sense — Biesi

Or use Count() - note () - from Linq which is the same for all collections — Dmitrii Bychenko

Use currentArrayNames.Length, there is no Count property in Array class

int namesCount = currentArrayNames.Length;

Another option is to use Count() extension method from System.Linq namespace, as you've tried to done, but this is a method, not a property

int namesCount = currentArrayNames.Count();
