Just sharing a sample code to get the total number of records (e.g. account here)

 IOrganizationService orgService = GetOrganizationService();

 int totalCount = 0;

 QueryExpression query = new QueryExpression("account");
 query.ColumnSet = new ColumnSet();
 query.Distinct = true;
 query.ColumnSet.AddColumn("accountid");
 query.PageInfo = new PagingInfo();
 query.PageInfo.Count = 5000;
 query.PageInfo.PageNumber = 1;
 query.PageInfo.ReturnTotalRecordCount = true;

 EntityCollection entityCollection = orgService.RetrieveMultiple(query);
 totalCount = entityCollection.Entities.Count;

 while (entityCollection.MoreRecords)
 {
 query.PageInfo.PageNumber += 1;
 query.PageInfo.PagingCookie = entityCollection.PagingCookie;
 entityCollection = orgService.RetrieveMultiple(query);
 totalCount = totalCount + entityCollection.Entities.Count;
 } 

 MessageBox.Show(totalCount.ToString());

Hope it helps
