How can I develop word count frequency of each word appear

mvc application that is used to determine the frequency of each word appear in the book moby Dick; or the whale by Herman Melville.you application must be written in C#

make use of sql dtabase to store the tuple of ,employs the entity Framework and Linq expression where appropiate.

application will have a user interface that allows the user to select the input file and display the answer below questions as the static output.

output :

Most frequent word:{word} occured {x} times

Most frequent 7 character word:{word} occured {x} times

Highest scoring words(according to scrabble):{word} with a score of {x}

Here is a solution that should count all the word frequencies in a file:

private void countWordsInFile(string file, Dictionary<string, int> words)
{
var content = File.ReadAllText(file);
var wordPattern = new Regex(@"\w+");
foreach (Match match in wordPattern.Matches(content))
{
int currentCount=0;
words.TryGetValue(match.Value, out currentCount);
currentCount++;
words[match.Value] = currentCount;
}
}

You can call this code like this:

var words = new Dictionary<string, int>(StringComparer.CurrentCultureIgnoreCase);
countWordsInFile("file1.txt", words);

After this words will contain all words in the file with their frequency (e.g. words["test"] returns the number of times that "test" is in the file content. If you need to accumulate the results from more than one file, simply call the method for all files with the same dictionary.
