System.Array' does not contain a definition for 'Count'

In my C# Project, I am getting this error that the definition for count does not contain System.Array 

protected void Page_Prerender(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    FileInfo[] fileInfo;
    string UpFolder = Server.MapPath("~/data/images/");
    DirectoryInfo dir = new DirectoryInfo(UpFolder);
    fileInfo = dir.GetFiles();
    // here i am getting error
    int TotalImages = fileInfo.Count();
    for (int count = 0; count < TotalImages; count++)
    {
        Image image = new Image();
        image.ImageUrl = "~/data/images/" + fileInfo[count].ToString();
        image.ID = count.ToString();
        DataListImage.Controls.Add(image);
    }
    DataListImage.DataSource = dir.GetFiles();
    DataListImage.DataBind();

    string UpFolder1 = Server.MapPath("~/data/thumbnails/");
    DirectoryInfo dir1 = new DirectoryInfo(UpFolder1);
    DataListthumbnails.DataSource = dir1.GetFiles();
    DataListthumbnails.DataBind();
}

While Count() isn't "needed" since the type is an Array, the error is a result of not "using" the correct namespaces.

Enumerable.Count() is a LINQ extension method in the System.Linq namespace. As such, it can be made available with the following:

using System.Linq;

Since arrays implement IEnumerable<T>, then they can utilize any such methods when they are made available.

You don't need Count, instead you can use Length with arrays to get the count.

You are getting the error since you are missing using System.Linq;

To get TotalImages you can use 

int TotalImages = fileInfo.Length;
