Answer 1

Below code is working for me :

                          var credit = (from bm in BulkMessage
                          join sms in SMS on bm.BulkMessageId equals sms.BulkMessageId
                          where bm.ProfileId == pid && bm.IsActive == true
                           group sms by sms.SMSCredit into g

                          select new { SMSCredits = g.Sum(s => s.SMSCredit) }).FirstOrDefault();

Answer 2

For me (using 4.0), the following works.

var total = from T1 in context.T1
            join T2 in context.T2 on T1.T2ID equals T2.T2ID
            join T3 in context.T3 on T2.T3ID equals T3.T3ID
            group T3 by new { T1.Column1, T1.Column2 } into g
            select new { 
                Column1 = g.Key.Column1, 
                Column2 = g.Key.Column2, 
                Amount = g.Sum(t3 => t3.Column1) 
            };

Answer 3

Try this:

var total = from T1 in context.T1
            join T2 in context.T2 on T1.T2ID equals T2.T2ID
            join T3 in context.T3 on T2.T3ID equals T3.T3ID
            group T3 by new { T1.Column1, T1.Column2 } into g
            select new { 
                Column1 = T1.Column1, 
                Column2 = T2.Column2, 
                Amount = g.Sum(t3 => t3.Column1) 
            };
