LINQ from objects Left Join - entity-framework

I have a linq query that works fine when I join two tables, but when I include another table, it does not return data. Please help me figure out what I am doing wrong.
First Linq returns data:
var q = (from c in _context.Complaint
join cl in _context.Checklist on c.COMP_ID equals cl.COMP_ID into clleft
from cls in clleft.DefaultIfEmpty()
orderby c.timestamp descending
select new
{
FileNum = c.FileNum
}).AsQueryable().Distinct();
return q;
When I add this table, no data returns
var q = (from c in _context.Complaint
join cl in _context.Checklist on c.COMP_ID equals cl.COMP_ID into clleft
from cls in clleft.DefaultIfEmpty()
join oim in _context.OIM_EMPLOYEE on cls.MonitorEnteredEmpID equals oim.EmpID into oimleft
from oims in oimleft.DefaultIfEmpty()
orderby c.timestamp descending
select new
{FileNum = c.FileNum
}).AsQueryable().Distinct();
return q;

Linq order by using query expression

Is it possible to do orderby expression using linq query expression based on dynamic string parameter? because the query i have is producing weird SQL query
my linq:
var product = from prod in _context.Products
join cat in _context.Categories on prod.CategoryId equals cat.CategoryId
join sup in _context.Suppliers on prod.SupplierId equals sup.SupplierId
orderby sortParam
select new ProductViewModel
{
ProductName = prod.ProductName,
ProductId = prod.ProductId,
QuantityPerUnit = prod.QuantityPerUnit,
ReorderLevel = prod.ReorderLevel,
UnitsOnOrder = prod.UnitsOnOrder,
UnitPrice = prod.UnitPrice,
UnitsInStock = prod.UnitsInStock,
Discontinued = prod.Discontinued,
Category = cat.CategoryName,
Supplier = sup.CompanyName,
CategoryId = cat.CategoryId,
SupplierId = sup.SupplierId
};
where var sortParam = "prod.ProductName"
The code above produces weird sql where order by sortParam is being converted to (SELECT 1). Full query catched by sql profiler below:
exec sp_executesql N'SELECT [prod].[ProductName], [prod].[ProductID], [prod].[QuantityPerUnit], [prod].[ReorderLevel], [prod].[UnitsOnOrder], [prod].[UnitPrice], [prod].[UnitsInStock], [prod].[Discontinued], [cat].[CategoryName] AS [Category], [sup].[CompanyName] AS [Supplier], [cat].[CategoryID], [sup].[SupplierID]
FROM [Products] AS [prod]
INNER JOIN [Categories] AS [cat] ON [prod].[CategoryID] = [cat].[CategoryID]
INNER JOIN [Suppliers] AS [sup] ON [prod].[SupplierID] = [sup].[SupplierID]
ORDER BY (SELECT 1)
OFFSET #__p_1 ROWS FETCH NEXT #__p_2 ROWS ONLY',N'#__p_1 int,#__p_2 int',#__p_1=0,#__p_2=10
I'm seeing a lot of people doing linq order by using dynamic parameter but all of them use lambda not query expression, please enlighten me
As was already mentioned, you are passing a string value instead of an expression that reflects the column name. There are options for what you want however, see for example here.

Implementing Concat + RANK OVER SQL Clause in C# LINQ

I need to implement the following T-SQL clause ....
SELECT
CONCAT( RANK() OVER (ORDER BY [Order].codOrder, [PackedOrder].codPackedProduct ), '/2') as Item,
[Order].codOrder as [OF],
[PackedOrder].codLine as [Ligne],
[PackedOrder].codPackedProduct as [Material], ----------------------
[Product].lblPProduct as [Product],
[PackedProduct].lblPackedProduct as [MaterialDescription],
[PackedOrder].codPackedBatch as [Lot],
[Product].codCustomerColor as [ReferenceClient],
[PackedOrder].nbrPackedQuantity as [Quantity],
[PackedOrder].nbrLabelToPrint as [DejaImprime]
FROM [Order] INNER JOIN PackedOrder
ON [Order].codOrder = PackedOrder.codOrder INNER JOIN Product
ON [Order].codProduct = Product.codProduct INNER JOIN PackedProduct
ON PackedOrder.codPackedProduct = PackedProduct.codPackedProduct
Where [Order].codOrder = 708243075
So Far, I'm able to do:
var result =
from order1 in Orders
join packedorder1 in PackedOrders on order1.codOrder equals packedorder1.codOrder
join product1 in Products on order1.codProduct equals product1.codProduct
join packedproduct1 in PackedProducts on packedorder1.codPackedProduct equals packedproduct1.codPackedProduct
where order1.codOrder == _order.codOrder
select new FinishedProductPrintingM
{
OF = order1.codOrder,
Ligne = packedorder1.codLine,
Material = packedorder1.codPackedProduct,
Produit = product1.codProductType,
MaterialDescription = packedproduct1.lblPackedProduct,
Lot = packedorder1.codPackedBatch,
RéférenceClient = product1.codCustomerColor,
Quantité = packedorder1.nbrPackedQuantity,
Déjàimprimé = packedorder1.nbrLabelPrinted
};
Please let me know if its possible or not. I need to display the Items in such a way.Please feel free to add your valuable comments.
I am not aware how to use concat and Rank over function in LINQ.
Can anyone help me to convert my SQL query into LINQ?

How to convert this to LINQ OR EF

SELECT EquipmentSerials.SerialNo,EquipmentSerials.IDNo,Equipments.Name,Equipments.TechOrder,Equipments.WorkUnitCode,Equipments.NationalStockNumber,Equipments.Manufacturer,Equipments.PartNumber,EquipmentSerials.ID,EquipmentSerials.EquipmentID,Discrepancy.Symbol
FROM EquipmentSerials
INNER JOIN Equipments ON (EquipmentSerials.EquipmentID = Equipments.ID)
INNER JOIN Discrepancy ON (EquipmentSerials.ID = Discrepancy.EquipmentSerialsID)
WHERE Discrepancy.Symbol='-'
Can anyone convert this to EF?
Thanks
Please try this
var data= from EquipmentSerials in db.EquipmentSerials
join Equipments in db.Discrepancy on EquipmentSerials.EquipmentID equals Equipments.ID
join Discrepancy in db.Discrepancy on EquipmentSerials.ID equals Discrepancy.EquipmentSerialsID
where Discrepancy.Symbol == "-"
select new {
EquipmentSerials.SerialNo,EquipmentSerials.IDNo,Equipments.Name,Equipments.TechOrder,Equipments.WorkUnitCode,Equipments.NationalStockNumber,Equipments.Manufacturer,Equipments.PartNumber,EquipmentSerials.ID,EquipmentSerials.EquipmentID,Discrepancy.Symbol};

how to flatten out webapi EF using DTO and linq

I am trying to flatten out my webapi EF using a DTO and linq but not quite sure how to do it. My end goal is to say, I want to return ALL four accounts where USERNAME = x.
In this example there is 1 username with access to 1 client, and that 1 client has 4 accounts.
How can I make the result come back with 4 entries, 1 for each account?
Here is what I have so far...
var x2 = from b in db.AspNetUsers
where b.UserName == username
select new AspNetUserDetailDTO()
{
UserName = b.UserName,
Email = b.Email,
Mapping_UserClient = b.Mapping_UserClient
//ClientName = b.Mapping_UserClient.SelectMany<Mapping_UserClient>(x => x.ClientID)
//Mapping_UserClient = b.Mapping_UserClient
};
below is my sql diagram.
so I tried writing a plain sql query to return a basic result of what I am looking for... now I do not know how to do this in LINQ
SELECT
dbo.Clients.ClientName
,dbo.Mapping_UserClient.ClientID
,*
FROM [xxx].[dbo].[AspNetUsers]
inner join dbo.Mapping_UserClient on dbo.Mapping_UserClient.AspNetUsersID = dbo.AspNetUsers.Id
inner join dbo.Clients on dbo.Clients.ClientID = dbo.Mapping_UserClient.ClientID
inner join dbo.Mapping_ClientAccount on dbo.Mapping_ClientAccount.ClientID = dbo.Clients.ClientID
inner join dbo.Accounts on dbo.Accounts.AccountID = dbo.Mapping_ClientAccount.AccountID
where Email = 'dddd'
Translating your query above, you would get something like this in Linq:
var query = (from acc in db.Accounts
join mca in db.Mapping_ClientAccount
on acc.AccountId equals mca.ClientID
join cli in db.Clients
on mca.ClientID equals cli.ClientID
join muc in db.Mapping_UserClient
on cli.ClientID equals muc.ClientID
join anu in db.AspNetUsers
on muc.AspNetUsersID equals anu.Id
where anu.UserName == username
select new AspNetUserDetailsDTO()
{
ClientName = cli.ClientName,
ClientID = cli.ClientID
}).ToList();

How to perform Linq to Entites Left Outer Join

I have read plenty of blog posts and have yet to find a clear and simple example of how to perform a LEFT OUTER JOIN between two tables. The Wikipedia article on joins Join (SQL) provides this simple model:
CREATE TABLE `employee` (
`LastName` varchar(25),
`DepartmentID` int(4),
UNIQUE KEY `LastName` (`LastName`)
);
CREATE TABLE `department` (
`DepartmentID` int(4),
`DepartmentName` varchar(25),
UNIQUE KEY `DepartmentID` (`DepartmentID`)
);
Assume we had a EmployeeSet as an employee container ObjectSet<Employee> EmployeeSet and a DepartmentSet ObjectSet<Department> DepartmentSet. How would you perform the following query using Linq?
SELECT LastName, DepartmentName
FROM employee e
LEFT JOIN department d
ON e.DepartmentID = d.DepartmentID
I would write this, which is far simpler than join and does exactly the same thing:
var q = from e in db.EmployeeSet
select new
{
LastName = e.LastName,
DepartmentName = e.Department.DepartmentName
};
You need to use the DefaultIfEmpty method :
var query =
from e in db.EmployeeSet
join d in db.DepartmentSet on e.DepartmentID equals d.DepartmentID into temp
from d in temp.DefaultIfEmpty()
select new { Employee = e, Department = d };
