Question

How to select additional column from joined table and send them all to View as PagedList?

public ViewResult Index(...)
{
    var newlist = from n in db.students
                  join o in db.info on n.id equals o.id
    select n;
    //     ^ This only select collection from "students" as "n".

    return View(newlist.ToPagedList(..., ...));
                     // ^ using PagedList Extenstion
}

I want to join to some others tables and get some additional columns.

Any chance to use it in cshtml file (View) like this?:

@foreach (var item in Model) {
    <td>@item.column_from_students_table_1</td>
    <td>@item.column_from_students_table_2</td>
    <td>@item.column_from_info_table_1</td>
    <td>...</td>
}

You could create your own custom view type and select to that:

ViewModel:

public class StudenInfoView
{
    //From Students
    public string Id { get; set; }
    public string FirstName { get; set; }
    public string LastName { get; set; }
    //From info
    public int Age { get; set; }
}

Linq Query:

var newlist = (from n in db.students
               join o in db.info on n.id equals o.id
               select new StudenInfoView {
                   Id = n.Id,
                   FirstName = n.FirstName,
                   LastName = n.LastName,
                   Age = o.Age
               });
