Number of suppliers by country MVC - asp.net-mvc

Question

I want the number of customers in that country to be written in the numbers "00" next to the countries. can you help?
With the html helper, I can classify suppliers on the basis of countries. but I could not write the number of suppliers in that country on the same line.
controller:
public ActionResult SupplierList(int supID = 0, string country="")
{
ViewBag.supCountries= _db.Suppliers.Select(a => a.Country).Distinct().ToList();
List<Suppliers> supplierList;
if (country== "" && supID == 0)
{
supplierList = _db.Suppliers.ToList();
}
else if (country!= "" && supID == 0)
{
supplierList = _db.Suppliers.Where(a => a.Country == country).ToList();
}
else
{
supplierList= _db.Suppliers.Where(a => a.SupplierID == supID).ToList();
}
return View(supplierList);
}
view:
<div class="col-md-2">
<ul class="list-group">
#foreach (string item in ViewBag.supCountries)
{
<li class="list-group-item">
#Html.ActionLink(item, "SupplierList", new { country= item })
<span style="float:right; color:lightgrey">
00
</span>
</li>
}
</ul>
<div>
#Html.ActionLink("New Supplier", "Create", null, new { #class = "btn btn-success" })
</div>
</div>

Answer 1

You passed the supplier list in as a model, so you should be able to replace 00 with something like
<span style="float:right; color:lightgrey">
#Model.Count(x => x.Country == item).ToString("N0")
</span>
