(from a in db.Assignments
     join b in db.Deliveryboys on a.AssignTo equals b.EmployeeId  

     //from d in eGroup.DefaultIfEmpty()
     join  c in  db.Deliveryboys on a.DeliverTo equals c.EmployeeId into eGroup2
     from e in eGroup2.DefaultIfEmpty()
     where (a.Collected == false)
     select new
     {
         OrderId = a.OrderId,
         DeliveryBoyID = a.AssignTo,
         AssignedBoyName = b.Name,
         Assigndate = a.Assigndate,
         Collected = a.Collected,
         CollectedDate = a.CollectedDate,
         CollectionBagNo = a.CollectionBagNo,
         DeliverTo = e == null ? "Null" : e.Name,
         DeliverDate = a.DeliverDate,
         DeliverBagNo = a.DeliverBagNo,
         Delivered = a.Delivered

     });

这是一般形式(已经在其他答案中提供了)

var c =
    from a in alpha
    join b in beta on b.field1 equals a.field1 into b_temp
    from b_value in b_temp.DefaultIfEmpty()
    select new { Alpha = a, Beta = b_value };

然而，这里有一个解释，我希望能澄清这实际上是什么意思!

join b in beta on b.field1 equals a.field1 into b_temp

本质上创建了一个单独的结果集b_temp，其中有效地包含了右边条目的空“rows”('b'中的条目)。

然后是下一行:

from b_value in b_temp.DefaultIfEmpty()

．．遍历该结果集，为右侧的'row'设置默认空值，并将右侧的行连接的结果设置为'b_value'的值(即，如果有匹配的记录，则为右侧的值，如果没有则为'null')。

现在，如果右边是一个单独的LINQ查询的结果，它将由匿名类型组成，它只能是'something'或'null'。如果它是一个可枚举的对象(例如，一个List -其中MyObjectB是一个有2个字段的类)，那么它可以具体说明它的属性使用什么默认的“null”值:

var c =
    from a in alpha
    join b in beta on b.field1 equals a.field1 into b_temp
    from b_value in b_temp.DefaultIfEmpty( new MyObjectB { Field1 = String.Empty, Field2 = (DateTime?) null })
    select new { Alpha = a, Beta_field1 = b_value.Field1, Beta_field2 = b_value.Field2 };

这确保了'b'本身不是空的(但它的属性可以是空的，使用您指定的默认空值)，这允许您检查b_value的属性，而不会得到b_value的空引用异常。注意，对于可空的DateTime， (DateTime?)类型，即。'nullable DateTime'必须在'DefaultIfEmpty'的规范中指定为null的'Type'(这也适用于'原生'不为空的类型，例如double, float)。

您可以通过简单地链接上述语法来执行多个左外连接。

我想补充的是，如果您获得MoreLinq扩展，现在支持同质和异构左连接

http://morelinq.github.io/2.8/ref/api/html/Overload_MoreLinq_MoreEnumerable_LeftJoin.htm

例子:

//Pretend a ClientCompany object and an Employee object both have a ClientCompanyID key on them

return DataContext.ClientCompany
    .LeftJoin(DataContext.Employees,                         //Table being joined
        company => company.ClientCompanyID,                  //First key
        employee => employee.ClientCompanyID,                //Second Key
        company => new {company, employee = (Employee)null}, //Result selector when there isn't a match
        (company, employee) => new { company, employee });   //Result selector when there is a match

编辑:

回想起来，这可能会起作用，但它将IQueryable转换为IEnumerable，因为morelinq不会将查询转换为SQL。

您可以使用如下所述的GroupJoin: https://stackoverflow.com/a/24273804/4251433

这将确保它仍然是一个IQueryable，以防您以后需要对它进行进一步的逻辑操作。

下面是一个例子，如果你需要连接2个以上的表:

from d in context.dc_tpatient_bookingd
join bookingm in context.dc_tpatient_bookingm 
     on d.bookingid equals bookingm.bookingid into bookingmGroup
from m in bookingmGroup.DefaultIfEmpty()
join patient in dc_tpatient
     on m.prid equals patient.prid into patientGroup
from p in patientGroup.DefaultIfEmpty()

裁判:https://stackoverflow.com/a/17142392/2343

如果需要连接和筛选某些东西，可以在连接之外完成。可以在创建集合之后进行筛选。

在这种情况下，如果我在连接条件中这样做，我减少了返回的行。

使用三元条件(= n == null ?"__": n.MonDayNote，)

如果对象为空(因此不匹配)，则返回?后面的内容。__，在这种情况下。 否则，返回:，n.MonDayNote后面的内容。

感谢其他贡献者，这是我开始自己的问题。

        var schedLocations = (from f in db.RAMS_REVENUE_LOCATIONS
              join n in db.RAMS_LOCATION_PLANNED_MANNING on f.revenueCenterID equals

                  n.revenueCenterID into lm

              from n in lm.DefaultIfEmpty()

              join r in db.RAMS_LOCATION_SCHED_NOTE on f.revenueCenterID equals r.revenueCenterID
              into locnotes

              from r in locnotes.DefaultIfEmpty()
              where f.LocID == nLocID && f.In_Use == true && f.revenueCenterID > 1000

              orderby f.Areano ascending, f.Locname ascending
              select new
              {

                  f.Areano,
                  f.revenueCenterID,
                  f.Locabbrev,

                  //  MonNote = n == null ? "__" : n.MonDayNote,
                  MonNote = n == null ? "__" : n.MonDayNote,
                  TueNote = n == null ? "__" : n.TueDayNote,
                  WedNote = n == null ? "__" : n.WedDayNote,
                  ThuNote = n == null ? "__" : n.ThuDayNote,

                  WedEmpNbr = n == null ? 0 : n.WedEmpNbr,
                  ThuEmpNbr = n == null ? 0 : n.ThuEmpNbr,

                  SunEmpNbr = n == null ? 0 : n.SunEmpNbr,
                  SchedMondayDate = n == null ? dMon : n.MondaySchedDate,
                  LocNotes = r == null ? "Notes: N/A" : r.LocationNote

              }).ToList();
                Func<int, string> LambdaManning = (x) => { return x == 0 ? "" : "Manning:" + x.ToString(); };
        DataTable dt_ScheduleMaster = PsuedoSchedule.Tables["ScheduleMasterWithNotes"];
        var schedLocations2 = schedLocations.Where(x => x.SchedMondayDate == dMon);

扩展方法，类似于使用join语法的左连接

public static class LinQExtensions
{
    public static IEnumerable<TResult> LeftJoin<TOuter, TInner, TKey, TResult>(
        this IEnumerable<TOuter> outer, IEnumerable<TInner> inner, 
        Func<TOuter, TKey> outerKeySelector, 
        Func<TInner, TKey> innerKeySelector, 
        Func<TOuter, TInner, TResult> resultSelector)
    {
        return outer.GroupJoin(
            inner, 
            outerKeySelector, 
            innerKeySelector,
            (outerElement, innerElements) => resultSelector(outerElement, innerElements.FirstOrDefault()));
    }
}

我刚刚在。net内核中编写了它，它看起来像预期的那样工作。

小测试:

        var Ids = new List<int> { 1, 2, 3, 4};
        var items = new List<Tuple<int, string>>
        {
            new Tuple<int, string>(1,"a"),
            new Tuple<int, string>(2,"b"),
            new Tuple<int, string>(4,"d"),
            new Tuple<int, string>(5,"e"),
        };

        var result = Ids.LeftJoin(
            items,
            id => id,
            item => item.Item1,
            (id, item) => item ?? new Tuple<int, string>(id, "not found"));

        result.ToList()
        Count = 4
        [0]: {(1, a)}
        [1]: {(2, b)}
        [2]: {(3, not found)}
        [3]: {(4, d)}
