var results = from c in db.Companies
              join cn in db.Countries on c.CountryID equals cn.ID
              join ct in db.Cities on c.CityID equals ct.ID
              join sect in db.Sectors on c.SectorID equals sect.ID
              where (c.CountryID == cn.ID) && (c.CityID == ct.ID) && (c.SectorID == company.SectorID) && (company.SectorID == sect.ID)
              select new { country = cn.Name, city = ct.Name, c.ID, c.Name, c.Address1, c.Address2, c.Address3, c.CountryID, c.CityID, c.Region, c.PostCode, c.Telephone, c.Website, c.SectorID, Status = (ContactStatus)c.StatusID, sector = sect.Name };


return results.ToList();

创建一个外键，LINQ-to-SQL为您创建导航属性。然后每个Dealer都有一个DealerContacts集合，您可以选择、筛选和操作这些DealerContacts。

from contact in dealer.DealerContacts select contact

or

context.Dealers.Select(d => d.DealerContacts)

如果不使用导航属性，就会错过LINQ-to-SQL的一个主要好处——映射对象图的部分。

基本上LINQ连接操作符对SQL没有好处。例如，下面的查询

var r = from dealer in db.Dealers
   from contact in db.DealerContact
   where dealer.DealerID == contact.DealerID
   select dealerContact;

将导致内部连接在SQL

join对IEnumerable<>有用，因为它更有效:

from contact in db.DealerContact  

条款将对每个经销商重新执行 但对于IQueryable<>则不是这样。另外，连接也不太灵活。

使用LINQ连接执行内部连接。

var employeeInfo = from emp in db.Employees
                   join dept in db.Departments
                   on emp.Eid equals dept.Eid 
                   select new
                   {
                    emp.Ename,
                    dept.Dname,
                    emp.Elocation
                   };

因为我更喜欢表达式链语法，下面是你如何做到这一点:

var dealerContracts = DealerContact.Join(Dealer, 
                                 contact => contact.DealerId,
                                 dealer => dealer.DealerId,
                                 (contact, dealer) => contact);

var results = from c in db.Companies
              join cn in db.Countries on c.CountryID equals cn.ID
              join ct in db.Cities on c.CityID equals ct.ID
              join sect in db.Sectors on c.SectorID equals sect.ID
              where (c.CountryID == cn.ID) && (c.CityID == ct.ID) && (c.SectorID == company.SectorID) && (company.SectorID == sect.ID)
              select new { country = cn.Name, city = ct.Name, c.ID, c.Name, c.Address1, c.Address2, c.Address3, c.CountryID, c.CityID, c.Region, c.PostCode, c.Telephone, c.Website, c.SectorID, Status = (ContactStatus)c.StatusID, sector = sect.Name };


return results.ToList();
