Remarks

This method has at least one parameter of type Expression<TDelegate> whose type argument is one of the Func<T,TResult> types. For these parameters, you can pass in a lambda expression and it will be compiled to an Expression<TDelegate>.

The GroupJoin<TOuter,TInner,TKey,TResult>(IQueryable<TOuter>, IEnumerable<TInner>, Expression<Func<TOuter,TKey>>, Expression<Func<TInner,TKey>>, Expression<Func<TOuter,IEnumerable<TInner>,TResult>>) method generates a MethodCallExpression that represents calling GroupJoin<TOuter,TInner,TKey,TResult>(IQueryable<TOuter>, IEnumerable<TInner>, Expression<Func<TOuter,TKey>>, Expression<Func<TInner,TKey>>, Expression<Func<TOuter,IEnumerable<TInner>,TResult>>) itself as a constructed generic method. It then passes the MethodCallExpression to the CreateQuery<TElement>(Expression) method of the IQueryProvider represented by the Provider property of the outer parameter.

The query behavior that occurs as a result of executing an expression tree that represents calling GroupJoin<TOuter,TInner,TKey,TResult>(IQueryable<TOuter>, IEnumerable<TInner>, Expression<Func<TOuter,TKey>>, Expression<Func<TInner,TKey>>, Expression<Func<TOuter,IEnumerable<TInner>,TResult>>) depends on the implementation of the type of the outer parameter. The expected behavior is that the outerKeySelector and innerKeySelector functions are used to extract keys from outer and inner, respectively. These keys are compared for equality to match each element in outer with zero or more elements from inner. Then the resultSelector function is invoked to project a result object from each group of correlated elements.

The expected behavior is that the outerKeySelector and innerKeySelector functions are used to extract keys from outer and inner, respectively. These keys are compared for equality by using comparer.
