Hi here is how you can select distinct records with inner join. Hope it helps

var distinctrecords = 
(entity.Table.Join(entity.Table2, x => x.Column, y => y.Column, (x, y) => new {x, y})
             .Select(@t => new {@t.x.Column2, @t.y.Column3}))
             .GroupBy(t => t.Column2)
             .Select(g => g.FirstOrDefault());
