LINQ Join with Multiple From Clauses

Question

When writing LINQ queries in C#, I know I can perform a join using the join keyword. But what does the following do?

from c in Companies
from e          


        

Answer 1

Multiple "from" statements are considered compound linq statments. They are like nested foreach statements. The msdn page does list a great example here

var scoreQuery = from student in students
                 from score in student.Scores
                 where score > 90
                 select new { Last = student.LastName, score };

this statement could be rewritten as:

SomeDupCollection nameScore = new SomeDupCollection();
foreach(Student curStudent in students)
{
   foreach(Score curScore in curStudent.scores)
   {
      if (curScore > 90)
      {
         nameScore.Add(curStudent.LastName, curScore);
      }
   }
}
