Simple Examples of joining 2 and 3 table using lambda expression

Question

Can anyone show me two simple examples of joining 2 and 3 tables using LAMBDA EXPRESSION(
for example using Northwind tables (Orders,CustomerID,EmployeeID)?

Solution 1

Code for joining 3 tables is:

var list = dc.Orders.
                Join(dc.Order_Details,
                o => o.OrderID, od => od.OrderID,
                (o, od) => new
                {
                    OrderID = o.OrderID,
                    OrderDate = o.OrderDate,
                    ShipName = o.ShipName,
                    Quantity = od.Quantity,
                    UnitPrice = od.UnitPrice,
                    ProductID = od.ProductID
                }).Join(dc.Products,
                        a => a.ProductID, p => p.ProductID,
                        (a, p) => new
                        {
                            OrderID = a.OrderID,
                            OrderDate = a.OrderDate,
                            ShipName = a.ShipName,
                            Quantity = a.Quantity,
                            UnitPrice = a.UnitPrice,
                            ProductName = p.ProductName
                        });

Thanks

Solution 2

try this one to join 2 tables using lambda expression

var list = dataModel.Customers                     
.Join( dataModel.Orders, 
      c => c.Id, 
      o => o.CustomerId, 
      (c, o) => new
                 {
                     CustomerId = c.Id, 
                     CustomerFirstName = c.Firstname, 
                    OrderNumber = o.Number
                 });
