Converting SQL to Linq in c#

Question

I am trying to convert some SQL Code to c# Linq:

SELECT Username, Count(Ticket.TicketId) as 'Tickets Completed'
FROM  Ticket
INNER JOIN TicketStatus ON Ticket.TicketStatusID = TicketStatus.TicketStatusID
INNER JOIN Membership ON Ticket.CompletedBy = Membership.UserId
WHERE Ticket.ClosedDate >= @StartDate
      and Ticket.ClosedDate <= @EndDate
GROUP BY Username
ORDER BY 'Tickets Completed' DESC

which displays

Paul    6
Mike    4
Donna   3
Elliot  2

I tried to use Linqer which made this more complicated and didnt return any results:

var query = from Ticket in data.Tickets
                join Membership in data.Memberships on new { CompletedBy = Guid.Parse(Ticket.CompletedBy.ToString()) } equals new { CompletedBy = Membership.UserId }
                where
                  Ticket.ClosedDate >= StartDate &&
                  Ticket.ClosedDate <= EndDate
                group new { Membership, Ticket } by new
                {
                    Membership.Username
                } into g
                orderby
                  "Tickets Completed" descending
                select new
                {
                    Username = g.Key.Username,
                    Completed = g.Count(p => p.Ticket.TicketID > 0)
                };

Your help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Assuming CompletedBy and UserId columns are both uniqueidentifier in the database, you shouldn't need to do any type conversion.

var query = from t in db.ticket
        join ts in db.ticketStatus 
        on t.TicketStatus.ID equals ts.TicketStatusID
        join m in db.Membership 
        on t.CompletedBy equals m.UserId
        where t.ClosedDate >= startDate 
             && t.closedDate <= endDate
        group  t by m.UserName into tGroup
        order by tGroup.Count(t=> t.TicketId) decending
        select new {
          UserName = tGroup.Key,
          TicketCount = tGroup.Count()
        };
