Question

Schema has changed under me so that users FK is no longer in the entries table, but is indirectly referenced via the accounts table

I have the following tables:
Users
Accounts (FK from Users)
Entries (FK from Accounts)

I basically want to get the Entries for a particular user using LINQ from:

var userAccounts = context.User.Include("Accounts").Include("Entries").Where(s => s.UserId == userId);

This was the previous query before the User was removed from Entries:

return (from pc in userAccounts
    select new Entry{
         Timestamp = pc.Timestamp,
         Log = pc.Log }).ToList().AsQueryable();

Just unsure how to traverse the tables and populate the Entry type

Answer 1

If you prefer an association based approach rather than joins, consider the following:

var userAccounts = from user in context.User
                   where user.UserId == userId
                   from account in user.Accounts
                   from entry in account.Entries
                   select entry;
