linq subquery join and group by - entity-framework

Question

Hi is it possible to translate the below queries into linq ? ...
I am using entity frameworks core and tried to use the stored procedure but it seems like i have to create a model that applies to the metadata of the stored procedure. So i am trying to understand whether this kinda such query can be translated into linq so i don't have to create a separate db model.
SELECT
Stock.stockID ProductID,
stockName ProductName,
categoryName ProductCategory,
typeName ProductType,
sizeName ProductSize,
currentQuantity CurrentQuantity,
standardQuantity QuantityPerBox,
CONVERT(VARCHAR(255),CONVERT(INT,Stock.price)) AvgUnitCost,
CONVERT(VARCHAR(255),CONVERT(INT,x.lastUnitCost)) LastOrderUnitCost,
CONVERT(VARCHAR(10),CONVERT(DATE,x.lastOrderDate)) LastOrderDate
FROM dbo.Stock
LEFT JOIN
(
SELECT stockID,unitPrice lastUnitCost ,orderDate lastOrderDate, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY stockID ORDER BY orderDate DESC) rn FROM dbo.SalesOrder
JOIN dbo.SalesOrderDetail ON SalesOrderDetail.salesOrderID = SalesOrder.salesOrderID
WHERE customerID = #customerID AND salesStatus = 'S'
) x ON x.stockID = Stock.stockID AND rn = 1
LEFT JOIN dbo.StockCategory ON StockCategory.stockCategoryID = Stock.stockCategoryID
LEFT JOIN dbo.StockType ON StockType.stockTypeID = Stock.stockTypeID
LEFT JOIN dbo.StockSize ON StockSize.stockSizeID = Stock.stockSizeID
WHERE disStock = 0

Almost everything is possible. you just need to be careful with performance.
var query =
from stock in db.Stocks
join x in (
from grp in (
from so in db.SalesOrders
join sod in db.SalesOrderDetails on so.SalesOrderId equals sod.SalesOrderId
where so.CustomerId == customerId && so.SalesStatus == "S"
orderby so.OrderDate descending
select new {
sod.StockId,
LastUnitCost = sod.UnitPrice,
LastOrderDate = so.OrderDate
} into inner
group inner by inner.StockId)
select grp.Take(1)) on x.StockId equals stock.StockId into lastStockSales
from x in lastStockSales.DefaultIfEmpty()
join sc in db.StockCategories on stock.StockCatergotyId equals sc.StockCategoryId into scLeft
from sc in scLeft.DefaultIfEmpty()
join st in db.StockTypes on stock.StockTypeId equals st.StockTypeId into stLeft
from st in stLeft.DefaultIfEmpty()
join ss in db.StockSizes on stock.StockSizeId equals ss.StockSizeId into ssLeft
from ss in ssLeft.DefaultIfEmpty()
where stock.DisStock == 0
select new MyDTO {
ProductId = stock.StockId,
ProductName = stock.StockName,
ProductType = st.TypeName,
ProductSize = ss.SizeName,
CurrentQuantity = stock.CurrentQuantity,
QuantityPerBox = stock.StandardQuantity,
AvgUnitCost = stock.Price,
LastOrderUnitCost = x.LastUnitCost,
LastOrderDate = x.LastOrderDate
};
As you can see is easy to rewrite these queries, I had to change a little bit the logic on how to get the latest sales for a stock item since ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION... is not supported from a LINQ perspective. Again, you would have to consider performance when rewriting queries.
Hope this helps.
