Question

What would be the equivalent of the following T-SQL query in L2E using Lambda expressions?

Select * from a INNER JOIN b on a.Foo = b.Foo OR a.Foo = b.Bar  

I want to join a and b when a.Foo equal to b.Foo OR b.Bar

Thanks.

You can’t do an “or” style join in LINQ with an actual join clause. All join clauses in LINQ are equijoins. The closest you can come is a where clause:

var query = from a in A
            from b in B
            where a.Foo == b.Foo || a.Foo == b.Bar
            select new { a, b };
