Query SQL Databse using C# WPF

Hi everyone,

I am working on project that I am trying to query a SQL database to generate a report. In the database I have a table named "Item". That table is made up of three attributes: Item_UID(primary key), Item_ID (general ID) and Description.

I am trying to query the database in such a way that the report will include the Item_ID, the Description and a count of distinct Item_UID such as:

_________________

Item_ID: 0001

Description: blue pen

Quantity:50

-------------------------

I am working with WPF and C# and I came up with a pseudo code that I am still not sure if it will work:

ListOfItems = select distinct (Item_ID) from Item;

for each(element in ListOfItems){

Quantity = select count(distinct Item_UID) from Item where Item_ID = element;

Desc = select Description from Item where Item_ID = element;


}

"Quantity" and "Desc" would be variables that store the result of the query.

I want to get a list of the different Item category and for each category I want to obtain its description and the number of items that fall under it.

I know the Pseudo code is not fully correct but I hope you understand what I am trying to do.

Thanks in advance.
