What is the syntax for an inner join in LINQ to SQL?

Question

I\'m writing a LINQ to SQL statement, and I\'m after the standard syntax for a normal inner join with an ON clause in C#.

How do you represent the follo

Answer 1

You create a foreign key, and LINQ-to-SQL creates navigation properties for you. Each Dealer will then have a collection of DealerContacts which you can select, filter, and manipulate.

from contact in dealer.DealerContacts select contact

or

context.Dealers.Select(d => d.DealerContacts)

If you're not using navigation properties, you're missing out one of the main benefits on LINQ-to-SQL - the part that maps the object graph.
