q.ColumnSet = new ColumnSet();
q.ColumnSet.Columns.Add("name");

q.LinkEntities.Add(new LinkEntity("account", "contact", "primarycontactid", "contactid", JoinOperator.Inner));

q.Distinct = true;
EntityCollection ec = this.Context.Proxy.RetrieveMultiple(q);

Log.Assert(ec.Entities.Count == 3, "Expected 3 entities, received {0}", ec.Entities.Count);
