Answer 1

Hopefully your join works ?!

If so, you can run your query through EF and get the results like below :

namespace WebApiJoinData.Controllers
{
[RoutePrefix("Api")]
public class JoinController : ApiController
{
    DepartmentServicesEntities DSE = new DepartmentServicesEntities();
    [Route("Api")]


        [HttpGet]
        public object JoinStatement()
        {
            string Msg = String.Empty;
            string sql = String.Format("Select FirstName, LastName, Gender, Salary, E.Department_id, Department_Name from Employee E INNER JOIN Department D on D.department_id = E.department_id");

            using (DSE)
            {
                //proceed the query and return Msg
                var results = DSE.Database.SqlQuery
