Doing multiple joins within a LINQ statement

Question

Can someone help me translate the following SQL query into a LINQ format.

SELECT a.ID,
       a.HostID,
       h.URL,
       a.SourceURL,
       a.TargetURL,
       c.Value,
       a.ExtFlag
FROM Link a
INNER JOIN Host h
ON h.ID = a.HostID
INNER JOIN Ref c
ON a.ResponseCode = c.SubType
AND c.Type = 'HTTP Status'

Many Thanks

Answer 1

I think it would be something like:

var result = from a in Context.DGApprovedLink 
             join h in Context.DGHost on a.HostID equals h.ID
             join c in Context.DGConfig on a.ResponseCode equals c.SubType
             where c.Type == "HTTP Status"
             select new {
                 a.ID,
                 a.HostID,
                 h.URL,
                 a.SourceURL,
                 a.TargetURL,
                 c.Value,
                 a.ExtFlag };

Create Unit test class using MStest and copy the code 

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting;

namespace LinqTest.Test
{

    public class Employee
    {
        public int EmpId { get; set; }
        public string Name { get; set; }
        public DateTime? DOB { get; set; }
        public decimal Salary { get; set; }
        public DateTime DOJ { get; set; }
        public bool IsActive { get; set; }
    }


    public class Book
    {
        public int BookId { get; set; }
        public string Title { get; set; }
        public double Price { get; set; }
    }

    public class BookOrder
    {
        public int OrderId { get; set; }
        public int EmpId { get; set; }
        public int BookId { get; set; }
        public int Quantity { get; set; }
    }
