Queryable.Join Method

Definition

Correlates the elements of two sequences based on matching keys.

Overloads

Join<TOuter,TInner,TKey,TResult>(IQueryable<TOuter>, IEnumerable<TInner>, Expression<Func<TOuter,TKey>>, Expression<Func<TInner,TKey>>, Expression<Func<TOuter,TInner,TResult>>)

Correlates the elements of two sequences based on matching keys. The default equality comparer is used to compare keys.

The following code example demonstrates how to use Join<TOuter,TInner,TKey,TResult>(IQueryable<TOuter>, IEnumerable<TInner>, Expression<Func<TOuter,TKey>>, Expression<Func<TInner,TKey>>, Expression<Func<TOuter,TInner,TResult>>) to perform an inner join of two sequences based on a common key.

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 Join<TOuter,TInner,TKey,TResult>(IQueryable<TOuter>, IEnumerable<TInner>, Expression<Func<TOuter,TKey>>, Expression<Func<TInner,TKey>>, Expression<Func<TOuter,TInner,TResult>>) method generates a MethodCallExpression that represents calling Join<TOuter,TInner,TKey,TResult>(IQueryable<TOuter>, IEnumerable<TInner>, Expression<Func<TOuter,TKey>>, Expression<Func<TInner,TKey>>, Expression<Func<TOuter,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 Join<TOuter,TInner,TKey,TResult>(IQueryable<TOuter>, IEnumerable<TInner>, Expression<Func<TOuter,TKey>>, Expression<Func<TInner,TKey>>, Expression<Func<TOuter,TInner,TResult>>) depends on the implementation of the type of the outer parameter. The expected behavior is that of an inner join. The outerKeySelector and innerKeySelector functions are used to extract keys from outer and inner, respectively. These keys are compared for equality to match elements from each sequence. A pair of elements is stored for each element in inner that matches an element in outer. Then the resultSelector function is invoked to project a result object from each pair of matching elements.
