I have a LINQ query which checks to see if there are any tests done since the beginning of the year.

var MetersTestedCount = (from n in _mttDomainContext.MTTMeterTests
                              where n.TestDate > DateTime.Parse("1/1/2010")  
                              select n.TestDate).Count();

This query however returns an empty set. I have a similar SQL query which pulls some records,

USE MeterTestTracking
Select * From MTTMeterTest
WHERE TestDate > '1/1/2010'

I have been to the previous posts. Even though similar, still no help:

How to compare just the date, not the timestamp using LINQ

and

How to compare dates in LINQ?

What's the correct way to check dates in LINQ to return a dataset?
