Return row from Linq query even if there is no data

Asked by GMSDev in Language Integrated Query - LINQ, Microsoft Visual Basic.Net, Microsoft Visual C#.Net

Tags: Linq, C#, SQL

I have the Linq query below and I need to modify it so that it always returns a row even if the query returns 0 rows.  Is there a way to do that?  If there is no result from the query, I need it to still have a row of nulls or something like that.Start Free Trial
