Linq in C# – Relations

with one comment

Following is the sample which shows how can you use relations in the LINQ for query and get the data out of various objects


class CustomerOrders
{
public IEnumerable GetCustomerOrders()
{
Customer[] customers = {
new Customer{ CustomerID =1, CustomerName = "Pratap Singh"},
new Customer{ CustomerID =2, CustomerName = "Sikandar"},
new Customer{ CustomerID =3, CustomerName = "Ram Parsad Patnaik"}
};

Order[] orders = {
new Order{ CustomerID = 1, OrderID = 1 , OrderDate = Convert.ToDateTime("10/Apr/2004")},
new Order{ CustomerID = 1, OrderID = 2 , OrderDate = Convert.ToDateTime("3/Jan/2005")},
new Order{ CustomerID = 3, OrderID = 1 , OrderDate = Convert.ToDateTime("23/Mar/2006")},
new Order{ CustomerID = 2, OrderID = 1 , OrderDate = Convert.ToDateTime("14/Nov/2005")},
new Order{ CustomerID = 3, OrderID = 2 , OrderDate = Convert.ToDateTime("19/Dec/2008")}
};

var Query = from clist in customers
join oList in orders
on clist.CustomerID equals oList.CustomerID
select clist;

return Query;
}

}

Here in sample look at the join part of the LINQ join oList in orders on clist.CustomerID equals oList.CustomerID. In smiliar way you can create various joins and create a relational model in LINQ
