How do I convert multiple inner joins in SQL to LINQ?
Solution 1:
Using query syntax:
from c in dbo.Companies
join p in dbo.Persons on c.AccountCoordinatorPersonId equals p.PersonId
join p2 in dbo.Persons on c.AccountManagerPersonId equals p2.PersonId
select new
{
c.CompanyId,
c.CompanyName,
AccountCoordinator = p.FirstName + ' ' + p.Surname,
AccountManager = p2.FirstName + ' ' + p2.Surname
}
Using method chaining:
dbo.Companies.Join(dbo.Persons,
c => c.AccountCoordinatorPersonId,
p => p.PersonId,
(c, p) => new
{
Company = c,
AccountCoordinator = p.FirstName + ' ' + p.Surname
})
.Join(dbo.Persons,
c => c.Company.AccountManagerPersonId,
p2 => p2.PersonId,
(c, p2) => new
{
c.Company.CompanyId,
c.Company.CompanyName,
c.AccountCoordinator,
AccountManager = p2.FirstName + ' ' + p2.Surname
});
