VB and IGrouping for LINQ query help

Question

I am converting a c# LINQ example:

        var query = from m in typeof(string).GetMethods()
                    where m.IsStatic == true
                    orderby m.Name
                    group m by m.Name into g
                    orderby g.Count()
                    select new { name = g.Key, overloads = g.Count() };

In the above C# the g is an IGrouping but in the VB below it's instead an IEnumerable and thus the g.Key isn't resolving.

        Dim query = From m In GetType(String).GetMethods() _
        Where m.IsStatic = True _
        Order By m.Name _
        Group m By m.Name Into g = Group _
        Order By g.Count _
        Select name = g.Key, [overloads] = g.Count()

How do I do this in VB?

I think what you want is this:

Dim query = From m In GetType(String).GetMethods() _
                        Where m.IsStatic = True _
                        Group m By m.Name Into g = Group _
                        Order By Name, g.Count _
                        Select New With {.MethodName = Name, .Overloads = g.Count()}

Hope that helps.
