只需要选择狗，然后使用dog.Breed。BreedName，这应该可以正常工作。

如果你有很多狗，使用DataLoadOptions。LoadWith来减少db调用的数量。

您可以返回匿名类型，但这并不漂亮。

在这种情况下，我认为创建适当的类型会更好。如果只打算从包含该方法的类型中使用它，则将其设置为嵌套类型。

就我个人而言，我希望c#能够获得“命名匿名类型”——即与匿名类型相同的行为，但是有名称和属性声明，仅此而已。

EDIT: Others are suggesting returning dogs, and then accessing the breed name via a property path etc. That's a perfectly reasonable approach, but IME it leads to situations where you've done a query in a particular way because of the data you want to use - and that meta-information is lost when you just return IEnumerable<Dog> - the query may be expecting you to use (say) Breed rather than Ownerdue to some load options etc, but if you forget that and start using other properties, your app may work but not as efficiently as you'd originally envisaged. Of course, I could be talking rubbish, or over-optimising, etc...

尝试这样获取动态数据。您可以转换List<>的代码

public object GetDogsWithBreedNames()
{
    var db = new DogDataContext(ConnectString);
    var result = from d in db.Dogs
                 join b in db.Breeds on d.BreedId equals b.BreedId
                 select new
                        {
                            Name = d.Name,
                            BreedName = b.BreedName
                        };
    return result.FirstOrDefault();
}

dynamic dogInfo=GetDogsWithBreedNames();
var name = dogInfo.GetType().GetProperty("Name").GetValue(dogInfo, null);
var breedName = dogInfo.GetType().GetProperty("BreedName").GetValue(dogInfo, null);

不能直接返回匿名类型，但可以通过泛型方法对它们进行循环。大多数LINQ扩展方法也是如此。这里没有什么神奇之处，虽然看起来它们会返回匿名类型。如果参数是匿名的结果也可以是匿名的。

var result = Repeat(new { Name = "Foo Bar", Age = 100 }, 10);

private static IEnumerable<TResult> Repeat<TResult>(TResult element, int count)
{
    for(int i=0; i<count; i++)
    {
        yield return element;
    }
}

下面是一个基于原始问题代码的示例:

var result = GetDogsWithBreedNames((Name, BreedName) => new {Name, BreedName });


public static IQueryable<TResult> GetDogsWithBreedNames<TResult>(Func<object, object, TResult> creator)
{
    var db = new DogDataContext(ConnectString);
    var result = from d in db.Dogs
                    join b in db.Breeds on d.BreedId equals b.BreedId
                    select creator(d.Name, b.BreedName);
    return result;
}

现在我意识到编译器不让我返回一组匿名类型，因为它期待狗，但有没有一种方法来返回这个而不必创建一个自定义类型?

使用Use对象可返回匿名类型列表，而无需创建自定义类型。 这将在没有编译器错误的情况下工作(在。net 4.0中)。我将列表返回给客户端，然后在JavaScript上解析它:

public object GetDogsWithBreedNames()
{
    var db = new DogDataContext(ConnectString);
    var result = from d in db.Dogs
                 join b in db.Breeds on d.BreedId equals b.BreedId
                 select new
                        {
                            Name = d.Name,
                            BreedName = b.BreedName
                        };
    return result;
}

如果主要的想法是让SQL选择语句发送到数据库服务器只有必需的字段，而不是所有的实体字段，那么你可以这样做:

public class Class1
{
    public IList<Car> getCarsByProjectionOnSmallNumberOfProperties()
    {

        try
        {
            //Get the SQL Context:
            CompanyPossessionsDAL.POCOContext.CompanyPossessionsContext dbContext 
                = new CompanyPossessionsDAL.POCOContext.CompanyPossessionsContext();

            //Specify the Context of your main entity e.g. Car:
            var oDBQuery = dbContext.Set<Car>();

            //Project on some of its fields, so the created select statment that is
            // sent to the database server, will have only the required fields By making a new anonymouse type
            var queryProjectedOnSmallSetOfProperties 
                = from x in oDBQuery
                    select new
                    {
                        x.carNo,
                        x.eName,
                        x.aName
                    };

            //Convert the anonymouse type back to the main entity e.g. Car
            var queryConvertAnonymousToOriginal 
                = from x in queryProjectedOnSmallSetOfProperties
                    select new Car
                    {
                        carNo = x.carNo,
                        eName = x.eName,
                        aName = x.aName
                    };

            //return the IList<Car> that is wanted
            var lst = queryConvertAnonymousToOriginal.ToList();
            return lst;

        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(ex.ToString());
            throw;
        }
    }
}
