Of course you'll need to ignore comments and I'd argue ignore curly-brackets... I guess not all lines end in semi-colon  (so is "for (...)  {foo();}" one line or two?.. what about linq...) and ignore semicolons in strings...
 
perhaps all lines aren't equal and returning count of the parsed elements would be much better... surely someone's tackled this already?!  
 
ok just count the non-space characters!
