How to join two model and display them in view in mvc 3.0 EF 5 - entity-framework

Question

I have two tables which have primary and foriegn key concept. I want to get the combined data on behalf of those keys. i don't know how to bind both the table into single model and display it into view.
Model
public class TVSerialModel
{
public Int32 Serial_ID { get; set; } // primary key
public string Serial_Name { get; set; }
public int? Release_Year { get; set; }
}
public class TVSerialEpisodeModel
{
public Int64 Video_ID { get; set; }
public Int32 Serial_ID { get; set; }// foriegn key
public string Episode_Name { get; set; }
public string Description { get; set; }
public DateTime Uploaded_Time { get; set; }
}
public class TVSerial_Episode_VM
{
public IEnumerable<TVSerialEpisodeModel> tvserialEpisode { get; set; }
public IEnumerable<TVSerialModel> Tvserial { get; set; }
}
Controller
public ActionResult NewEpisodeReleased()
{
cDBContext tvContext = new cDBContext();
TVSerial_Episode_VM tves=new TVSerial_Episode_VM();
tves= tvContext.dbTvSerialEpisodes.
Join(tvContext.dbTvSerials, p => p.Serial_ID, r => r.Serial_ID,(p, r) => new { p, r }).
Select(o => new TVSerial_Episode_VM
{ ****what should i write here to get all columns from both table**** }).
Take(9).ToList();
return View(tves);
}
Expected Result

Answer 1

If TVSerialEpisode has a property TVSerial, you can just dot through your foreign keys.
cDBContext.dbTvSerialEpisode
.Select(t =>
new {
t.TVSerial.Serial_ID,
t.TVSerial.Serial_Name,
t.Episode_Name
})
.Take(9)
.ToList();

Answer 2

You need to improve little bit the models you used with EF. You must include the reference object in model.
Like this
public virtual TVSerialModel TVSerialModel { get; set; }
in main table. This way you can select referred table too.

Answer 3

EF Include
public ActionResult NewEpisodeReleased()
{
cDBContext tvContext = new cDBContext();
TVSerial_Episode_VM tves=new TVSerial_Episode_VM();
tves= tvContext.dbTvSerialEpisodes.Include("TVSerialEpisodeModel")
.Include("TVSerialModel").ToList();
return View(tves);
}
