LinQ INNER JOIN AND LEFT JOIN in same query ... How To?

Asked by remi_106 in Language Integrated Query - LINQ, Microsoft Visual Basic.Net, .Net Editors & IDEs

Tags: ASP.NET, LinQ, Internet Explorer

I would like to know how to convert this SQL Query into a LinQ equivalent:

SELECT nContractDeliverables.* FROM (nContractDeliverables  INNER(Join) nContractPaymentLines ON (nContractDeliverables.DeliverableNo = nContractPaymentLines.DeliverableNo) AND  (nContractDeliverables.[MR No] = nContractPaymentLines.[Mr No]))  LEFT JOIN  nFacilityDeliverables ON (nContractDeliverables.DeliverableNo = nFacilityDeliverables.DeliverableNo) AND  (nContractDeliverables.[MR No] = nFacilityDeliverables.[MR No])  WHERE (((nFacilityDeliverables.Facility) Is Null)) and nContractDeliverables.[mr no] = " & ntq(ContractNo) & " and not nz(AdditionalWorkFlag)  Order by nContractDeliverables.[Mr no], nContractDeliverables.DeliverableNo;")


I know to do standard Joins ... but this one baffles me ...

This is what I've written so far, but I'm not sure if it is correct ...

Dim rsContractDeliverables = From cd In dc2.nContractDeliverables Join _
fd In dc.nFacilityDeliverables On cd.DeliverableNo Equals fd.DeliverableNo And _
fd.MR_No Equals cd.MR_No Group Join _
pl In dc3.nContractPaymentLines On cd.DeliverableNo Equals pl.DeliverableNo And _
cd.MR_No Equals pl.Mr_No Into Group Where _
((fd.Facility Is Nothing) And cd.MR_No = ntq(pContractNumber) And cd.AdditionalWorkFlag <> Nothing) Order By _
cd.MR_No, cd.DeliverableNo

I'm basing the above work on an article where "Group Join" seems to be used to translate LEFT JOINS.
