Question

I want to join 2 tables and get some data out of it using LINQ. here are the 2 ways in which i can do this

1. 

 var orders = from order in db.Order
                 from user in db.User
                 where order.UserId == user.UserId
                 select order;

2.
    var result = from order in db.Order
                 join user in db.user
                 on order.UserId equals user.userId
                 select order

are these queries one and the same? are they different in any way?

Answer 1

Both are same. First syntax is implicit, second one is explicit join syntax.

Refer to wikipedia link for both type of syntax.
