Lambda Expression for join

Question

public class CourseDetail
    {
        public CourseDetail();
        public string CourseId { get; set; }
        public string CourseDescription { get; set; }
            


        

Answer 1

The lambda for a Join is a bit involved - here's a simple example:

List<Person> People = new List<Person>();
List<PersonType> PeopleTypes = new List<PersonType>();

var joined = People.Join(PeopleTypes, 
  PeopleKey => PeopleKey.PersonType, 
  PeopleTypesKey => PeopleTypesKey.TypeID, 
  (Person, PersoneType) => new 
    { 
      Name = Person.Name, 
      TypeID = PersoneType.TypeID 
    });

I usually find the query syntax a lot more readable than lambdas for joining

        var joined2 = from p in People
                      join pType in PeopleTypes
                      on p.PersonType equals pType.TypeID
                      where p.Name.StartsWith("whatever")
                      select new { Name = p.Name, TypeID = pType.TypeID };
