Get count against each distinct value in SQL Server

I have a table tbl_demo like this:

              aliasname is_correct
                    10  INCORRECT
                    10  INCORRECT
                    10  INCORRECT
                    10  CORRECT
                    10  CORRECT
                    10  NOT SOLVED
                    9   INCORRECT
                    9   INCORRECT
                    9   CORRECT

I created a query:

select 
    aliasname, 
    count(*) as quest_count,  
    is_correct 
from 
    tbl_demo 
group by 
    aliasname, is_correct order by aliasname

and I get output like this 

              aliasname quest_count  is_correct
              ---------------------------------
              10          2            CORRECT
              10          3            INCORRECT
              10          1            NOT SOLVED
               9          1            CORRECT
               9          2            INCORRECT

but I want 0 for in 9 and NOT solved

Like one more row like this 

                9         0            NOT SOLVED

Can this be achieved easily, and how?

You can do this by generating all possible combinations using cross join, and the using left join to bring in the original data. The rest is just aggregation:

select a.aliasname, count(d.aliasname) as quest_count, ic.is_correct
from (select distinct aliasname from tbl_demo
     ) a cross join
     (select distinct is_correct from tbl_demo
     ) ic left outer join
     tbl_demo d
     on d.aliasname = a.aliasname and d.is_correct = ic.is_correct
group by a.aliasname, ic.is_correct;
