The multi-part identifier could not be bound C# and SQL

Question

I'm trying to execute a SQL query for a WCF service because the database I'm using doesn't have a stored procedure to return data I need. You can see the code below. I'm using VS2010 and connecting to Microsoft SQL Server. The Exception I get is: The multi-part identifier could not be bound. Thanks for the help.

        public List<ObjectCodeGroup> GetObjectCodeGroup()
    {
        TCDataDataContext dc16 = new TCDataDataContext();
        List<ObjectCodeGroup> results = new List<ObjectCodeGroup>();

        var objectCodeResults = dc16.ExecuteQuery<ObjectCodeGroup>(@"select t1.codeid," +
            "t1.code, t1.catalogtype, t1.codegroup, t1.codetext, t1.codegrouptext, t1.codedesc, t1.state_id from CODES t1" +

            "inner join ( select MIN(codeid) codeid, codegroup from CODES group by codegroup)" +
                "t2 on t1.codeid = t2.codeid and t1.codegroup = t2.codegroup WHERE catalogtype = 11");

        foreach (ObjectCodeGroup o in objectCodeResults)
        {
            results.Add(new ObjectCodeGroup()
           {
               codegrouptext = o.codegrouptext
           });
        }

        return results;
    }

you are missing a bunch of spaces, so that's part of the problem. Add spaces (at the end of the lines)!

var objectCodeResults = dc16.ExecuteQuery<ObjectCodeGroup>(@"select t1.codeid, " +
"t1.code, t1.catalogtype, t1.codegroup, t1.codetext, t1.codegrouptext, t1.codedesc, t1.state_id from CODES t1 " +
"inner join ( select MIN(codeid) codeid, codegroup from CODES group by codegroup) " +
"t2 on t1.codeid = t2.codeid and t1.codegroup = t2.codegroup WHERE catalogtype = 11");

Your original query looked something like SELECT BLAH FROM CODES t1inner join (MOREBLAH).... Specifically, look at the t1inner. That's what is gumming up the query.
