What is the syntax for an inner join in LINQ to SQL?

Question

I'm writing a LINQ to SQL statement, and I'm after the standard syntax for a normal inner join with an ON clause in C#.

How do you represent the following in LINQ to SQL:

select DealerContact.* from Dealer  inner join DealerContact on Dealer.DealerID = DealerContact.DealerID 

Answer 1

It goes something like:

from t1 in db.Table1 join t2 in db.Table2 on t1.field equals t2.field select new { t1.field2, t2.field3} 

It would be nice to have sensible names and fields for your tables for a better example. :)

Update

I think for your query this might be more appropriate:

var dealercontacts = from contact in DealerContact                      join dealer in Dealer on contact.DealerId equals dealer.ID                      select contact; 

Since you are looking for the contacts, not the dealers.
