LINQ: Fill objects from left join

Question

I\'m new to linq. How do I load my objects using LINQ from a left join database query (PostGIS).

This is my database query:

Answer 1

 var q = (from dt in public."dataTypes"
         // Join the second table to the first, using the IDs of the two tables <-- You may join on different columns from the two tables
         join dta in public."dataTypeAttributes" on
         new { ID = dt.id } equals
         new { ID = dta.id }
         // Join the third table to the first, using the IDs of the two tables
         join dtav in public."dataTypeAttributeId" on
         new { ID = dt.id } equals
         new { ID = dtav.id }
         // Conditional statement
         where dt.id == dta."dataTypeId"
         // Order the results
         orderby dt.type, dta.label, dtav.value
         // Select the values into a new object (datObj is a created class with the below variables)
         select new datObj() {
            ID = dt.id,
            Type = dt.type,
            AttID = dta.id,
            Label = dta.label,
            AttValueID = dtav.id,
            AttValue = dtav.value
         }).ToList()

This will return a List that match your where statement, in the order specified by the orderby statement.

Not exactly what you need, but should give you an example of what you should be doing.
