两个或多个表的完全外部连接: 首先提取要连接的列。

var DatesA = from A in db.T1 select A.Date; 
var DatesB = from B in db.T2 select B.Date; 
var DatesC = from C in db.T3 select C.Date;            

var Dates = DatesA.Union(DatesB).Union(DatesC); 

然后在提取的列和主表之间使用左外连接。

var Full_Outer_Join =

(from A in Dates
join B in db.T1
on A equals B.Date into AB 

from ab in AB.DefaultIfEmpty()
join C in db.T2
on A equals C.Date into ABC 

from abc in ABC.DefaultIfEmpty()
join D in db.T3
on A equals D.Date into ABCD

from abcd in ABCD.DefaultIfEmpty() 
select new { A, ab, abc, abcd })
.AsEnumerable();

谢谢大家的有趣帖子!

我修改了代码，因为在我的情况下我需要

个性化的连接谓词 一个个性化的联合，独特的比较

这是我修改过的代码(不好意思，用VB写的)

    Module MyExtensions
        <Extension()>
        Friend Function FullOuterJoin(Of TA, TB, TResult)(ByVal a As IEnumerable(Of TA), ByVal b As IEnumerable(Of TB), ByVal joinPredicate As Func(Of TA, TB, Boolean), ByVal projection As Func(Of TA, TB, TResult), ByVal comparer As IEqualityComparer(Of TResult)) As IEnumerable(Of TResult)
            Dim joinL =
                From xa In a
                From xb In b.Where(Function(x) joinPredicate(xa, x)).DefaultIfEmpty()
                Select projection(xa, xb)
            Dim joinR =
                From xb In b
                From xa In a.Where(Function(x) joinPredicate(x, xb)).DefaultIfEmpty()
                Select projection(xa, xb)
            Return joinL.Union(joinR, comparer)
        End Function
    End Module

    Dim fullOuterJoin = lefts.FullOuterJoin(
        rights,
        Function(left, right) left.Code = right.Code And (left.Amount [...] Or left.Description.Contains [...]),
        Function(left, right) New CompareResult(left, right),
        New MyEqualityComparer
    )

    Public Class MyEqualityComparer
        Implements IEqualityComparer(Of CompareResult)

        Private Function GetMsg(obj As CompareResult) As String
            Dim msg As String = ""
            msg &= obj.Code & "_"
            [...]
            Return msg
        End Function

        Public Overloads Function Equals(x As CompareResult, y As CompareResult) As Boolean Implements IEqualityComparer(Of CompareResult).Equals
            Return Me.GetMsg(x) = Me.GetMsg(y)
        End Function

        Public Overloads Function GetHashCode(obj As CompareResult) As Integer Implements IEqualityComparer(Of CompareResult).GetHashCode
            Return Me.GetMsg(obj).GetHashCode
        End Function
    End Class

我真的很讨厌这些linq表达式，这就是SQL存在的原因:

select isnull(fn.id, ln.id) as id, fn.firstname, ln.lastname
   from firstnames fn
   full join lastnames ln on ln.id=fn.id

在数据库中创建此sql视图并将其作为实体导入。

当然，(不同的)左连接和右连接的并集也可以做到这一点，但这是愚蠢的。

两个或多个表的完全外部连接: 首先提取要连接的列。

var DatesA = from A in db.T1 select A.Date; 
var DatesB = from B in db.T2 select B.Date; 
var DatesC = from C in db.T3 select C.Date;            

var Dates = DatesA.Union(DatesB).Union(DatesC); 

然后在提取的列和主表之间使用左外连接。

var Full_Outer_Join =

(from A in Dates
join B in db.T1
on A equals B.Date into AB 

from ab in AB.DefaultIfEmpty()
join C in db.T2
on A equals C.Date into ABC 

from abc in ABC.DefaultIfEmpty()
join D in db.T3
on A equals D.Date into ABCD

from abcd in ABCD.DefaultIfEmpty() 
select new { A, ab, abc, abcd })
.AsEnumerable();

下面是一个扩展方法:

public static IEnumerable<KeyValuePair<TLeft, TRight>> FullOuterJoin<TLeft, TRight>(this IEnumerable<TLeft> leftItems, Func<TLeft, object> leftIdSelector, IEnumerable<TRight> rightItems, Func<TRight, object> rightIdSelector)
{
    var leftOuterJoin = from left in leftItems
        join right in rightItems on leftIdSelector(left) equals rightIdSelector(right) into temp
        from right in temp.DefaultIfEmpty()
        select new { left, right };

    var rightOuterJoin = from right in rightItems
        join left in leftItems on rightIdSelector(right) equals leftIdSelector(left) into temp
        from left in temp.DefaultIfEmpty()
        select new { left, right };

    var fullOuterJoin = leftOuterJoin.Union(rightOuterJoin);

    return fullOuterJoin.Select(x => new KeyValuePair<TLeft, TRight>(x.left, x.right));
}

我认为LINQ join子句并不是这个问题的正确解决方案，因为join子句的目的并不是按照这个任务解决方案所需的方式来积累数据。合并创建的独立集合的代码变得太复杂了，也许这对于学习目的来说是可以的，但对于真正的应用程序来说不是。解决这个问题的方法之一是下面的代码:

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        List<FirstName> firstNames = new List<FirstName>();
        firstNames.Add(new FirstName { ID = 1, Name = "John" });
        firstNames.Add(new FirstName { ID = 2, Name = "Sue" });

        List<LastName> lastNames = new List<LastName>();
        lastNames.Add(new LastName { ID = 1, Name = "Doe" });
        lastNames.Add(new LastName { ID = 3, Name = "Smith" });

        HashSet<int> ids = new HashSet<int>();
        foreach (var name in firstNames)
        {
            ids.Add(name.ID);
        }
        foreach (var name in lastNames)
        {
            ids.Add(name.ID);
        }
        List<FullName> fullNames = new List<FullName>();
        foreach (int id in ids)
        {
            FullName fullName = new FullName();
            fullName.ID = id;
            FirstName firstName = firstNames.Find(f => f.ID == id);
            fullName.FirstName = firstName != null ? firstName.Name : string.Empty;
            LastName lastName = lastNames.Find(l => l.ID == id);
            fullName.LastName = lastName != null ? lastName.Name : string.Empty;
            fullNames.Add(fullName);
        }
    }
}
public class FirstName
{
    public int ID;

    public string Name;
}

public class LastName
{
    public int ID;

    public string Name;
}
class FullName
{
    public int ID;

    public string FirstName;

    public string LastName;
}

如果真正的集合对于HashSet的形成很大，而不是foreach循环可以使用下面的代码:

List<int> firstIds = firstNames.Select(f => f.ID).ToList();
List<int> LastIds = lastNames.Select(l => l.ID).ToList();
HashSet<int> ids = new HashSet<int>(firstIds.Union(LastIds));//Only unique IDs will be included in HashSet
