Convert SQL query with join to lambda expression

Question

not sure how to convert the following sql into a lambda expression. My database uses referential integrity and table Content related to table Content_Training in a 1 to many relationship (1 content can have many content_trainings)

select c.ContentId, c.Name, ct.TrainingTypeId 
from dbo.Content c left join dbo.Content_Training ct on c.ContentId = ct.ContentId
where c.PublishDate is not null
order by ct.TrainingTypeId, c.Name

Answer 1

Try this query:

var results = (from c in dbcontext.Contents
               join ct in dbcontext.Content_Trainings on c.ContentId equals ct.ContentId into t
               from rt in t.DefaultIfEmpty()
               select new
               {
                   c.ContentId,
                   c.Name,
                   TrainingTypeId = (int?)rt.TrainingTypeId
               }).OrderBy(r => r.TrainingTypeId)
                 .ThenBy(r => r.Name);
