How to do a full outer join in Linq?

Question

I\'ve inherited a database that wasn\'t designed exactly optimally, and I need to manipulate some data. Let me give a more common analogy of the kind of thing I have to do:

Answer 1

A start...

 var q = from sc in StudentClass
            join st in StudentTeachers on sc.StudentID equals st.StudentID into g
            from st in g.DefaultIfEmpty()
            select new {StudentID = sc.StudentID, StudentIDParent = st == null ? "(no StudentTeacher)" : st.StudentID...........};
