Introduction
In this blog we will see how to perform inner join using linq to sql.
Step 1: Create asp.net web application
Webform1.aspx
- <%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="WebForm1.aspx.cs" Inherits="InnerJoin_LINQtoSQL.WebForm1" %>  
-   
- <!DOCTYPE html>  
-   
- <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">  
- <head runat="server">  
-     <title></title>  
- </head>  
- <body>  
-     <form id="form1" runat="server">  
-     <div>  
-         <asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server"></asp:GridView>  
-     </div>  
-     </form>  
- </body>  
- </html>
  
Webform1.aspx.cs
- using System;  
- using System.Collections.Generic;  
- using System.Linq;  
- using System.Web;  
- using System.Web.UI;  
- using System.Web.UI.WebControls;  
-   
- namespace InnerJoin_LINQtoSQL  
- {  
-     public partial class WebForm1 : System.Web.UI.Page  
-     {  
-         DataClasses1DataContext objContext = new DataClasses1DataContext();  
-         protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)  
-         {  
-             var query = from r in objContext.Employees  
-                         join s in objContext.Departments  
-                         on r.DeptId equals s.DeptId  
-                         select new  
-                         {  
-                              FirstName = r.FirstName  
-                             ,LastName = r.LastName  
-                             ,Department = s.DeptName  
-                         };  
-   
-             GridView1.DataSource = query;  
-             GridView1.DataBind();  
-         }  
-     }  
- }  
  
Output of the application looks like this
