How Do I Display A Count?

I want to display the number of records for each state in a database.  I'm using a strongly types dataset.  In my method, I have the following
SELECT     COUNT(ID) AS iTotal, STATE
FROM         members
WHERE     (Suspend = 0)
GROUP BY STATE
ORDER BY STATE
In the code behind of my page I have  
        Dim mateAdapter As New WAPTableAdapters.membersTableAdapter
        Dim mates As WAP.membersDataTable
        Dim mate As WAP.membersRow

        mates = mateAdapter.GetDataState

        For Each mate In mates
            Select Case mate.STATE
                Case "AK"
                    LabelAK.Text = mate.ID.
            End Select
        Next
 What should LabelAK.Text = mate.ID. be for me to be able to display the number of records that have 'AK' in the state field?
