I am using ASP.NET MVC 3 to track hits on a set of stored links. I run into problems when displaying the hits' counts. I think this is because since I am using lazy loading, whenever I call\[code\]link.Hits.Count\[/code\]it loads all of each hit's data, including such things as agent and referrer information. (Hits is a Collection.) This is an issue when a link has over 9000 hits. Is there a way of just getting the Hits' Count without it pulling in the Hits' data?
