Entity Framework 4 - What is the syntax for joining 2 tables then paging them?

Question

I have the following linq-to-entities query with 2 joined tables that I would like to add pagination to:

IQueryable data = from inventory         


        

Answer 1

My answer here based on the answer that is marked as true but here I add a new best practice of the code above

    var data= (from c in db.Categorie.AsQueryable().Join(db.CategoryMap,
                    cat=> cat.CategoryId, catmap => catmap.ChildCategoryId, 
    cat, catmap) => new { Category = cat, CategoryMap = catmap })
select (c => c.Category)

this is the best practice to use the Linq to entity because when you add AsQueryable() to your code; system will converts a generic System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable to a generic System.Linq.IQueryable which is better for .Net engine to build this query at run time
