What is the best method to find out how many documents/records there are?

Question

storage.GetTotalRecords() gives me -1 storage.CountRecords() gives me the number I originally asked for in my query. And I read elsewhere that I shouldn't use CountByQuery because that is going to be depreciated.

Hi Ant,

You can use the Find All Document Count API to get the count of all document in the given database and the collection.

If you have any other concern, please let us know, we will be happy to help you.

Sorry how do I combine this with a query, as I don't want the count for all documents just those with certain values so that I can work out how many times I need to run FindDocumentByQueryWithPaging() in order to get all files.
