Question

使用扩展语法我试图在两个列表上使用LINQ创建一个左连接。以下是来自Microsoft的帮助，但我修改了它以显示宠物列表没有元素。我最终得到的是0个元素的列表。我认为这是因为内部连接正在发生。我想要最终得到的是一个包含3个元素（3个Person对象）的列表，其中填充了缺少元素的空数据。即左连接。这可能吗？

Person magnus = new Person { Name = "Hedlund, Magnus" };
Person terry = new Person { Name = "Adams, Terry" };
Person charlotte = new Person { Name = "Weiss, Charlotte" };

//Pet barley = new Pet { Name = "Barley", Owner = terry };
//Pet boots = new Pet { Name = "Boots", Owner = terry };
//Pet whiskers = new Pet { Name = "Whiskers", Owner = charlotte };
//Pet daisy = new Pet { Name = "Daisy", Owner = magnus };

List<Person> people = new List<Person> { magnus, terry, charlotte };
//List<Pet> pets = new List<Pet> { barley, boots, whiskers, daisy };
List<Pet> pets = new List<Pet>();

// Create a list of Person-Pet pairs where 
// each element is an anonymous type that contains a
// Pet's name and the name of the Person that owns the Pet.
var query =
    people.Join(pets,
                person => person,
                pet => pet.Owner,
                (person, pet) =>
                    new { OwnerName = person.Name, Pet = pet.Name }).ToList();

Answer 1

我认为如果您想使用扩展方法，则需要使用GroupJoin

var query =
    people.GroupJoin(pets,
                     person => person,
                     pet => pet.Owner,
                     (person, petCollection) =>
                        new { OwnerName = person.Name,
                              Pet = PetCollection.Select( p => p.Name )
                                                 .DefaultIfEmpty() }
                    ).ToList();

您可能需要使用选择表达式。我不确定如果你有1对多的关系，它会让你想要你想要的。

我认为使用LINQ查询语法

会更容易一些

var query = (from person in context.People
             join pet in context.Pets on person equals pet.Owner
             into tempPets
             from pets in tempPets.DefaultIfEmpty()
             select new { OwnerName = person.Name, Pet = pets.Name })
            .ToList();

你需要将连接的对象放到一个集合中然后应用DefaultIfEmpty，因为JPunyon说：

Person magnus = new Person { Name = "Hedlund, Magnus" };
Person terry = new Person { Name = "Adams, Terry" };
Person charlotte = new Person { Name = "Weiss, Charlotte" };

Pet barley = new Pet { Name = "Barley", Owner = terry };
List<Person> people = new List<Person> { magnus, terry, charlotte };
List<Pet> pets = new List<Pet>{barley};

var results =
    from person in people
    join pet in pets on person.Name equals pet.Owner.Name into ownedPets
    from ownedPet in ownedPets.DefaultIfEmpty(new Pet())
    orderby person.Name
    select new { OwnerName = person.Name, ownedPet.Name };


foreach (var item in results)
{
    Console.WriteLine(
        String.Format("{0,-25} has {1}", item.OwnerName, item.Name ) );
}

输出：

Adams, Terry              has Barley
Hedlund, Magnus           has
Weiss, Charlotte          has

遇到同样的问题时，我出现以下错误消息：

join子句中某个表达式的类型不正确。调用“GroupJoin”时类型推断失败。

当我使用相同的属性名称时解决了它。

join enderecoST in db.PessoaEnderecos on 
    new 
      {  
         CD_PESSOA          = nf.CD_PESSOA_ST, 
         CD_ENDERECO_PESSOA = nf.CD_ENDERECO_PESSOA_ST 
      } equals 
    new 
    { 
         enderecoST.CD_PESSOA, 
         enderecoST.CD_ENDERECO_PESSOA 
    } into eST

这是一篇很好的博客文章，刚刚由Fabrice（LINQ in Action的作者）发布，其中涵盖了我提出的问题中的材料。我把它放在这里供参考，因为问题的读者会觉得这很有用。

Converting LINQ queries from query syntax to method/operator syntax

Answer 5

使用DefaultIfEmpty（）方法可以在LINQ中进行左连接。虽然我没有确切的句法语法......

其实我觉得如果你只是把宠物改成pet.DefaultIfEmpty（）在查询中它可能会起作用......

编辑：我迟到的时候真的不该回答......

如果您确实拥有数据库，这是最简单的方法：

var lsPetOwners = ( from person in context.People
                    from pets in context.Pets
                        .Where(mypet => mypet.Owner == person.ID) 
                        .DefaultIfEmpty()
                     select new { OwnerName = person.Name, Pet = pets.Name }
                   ).ToList();
