SQL Server query to C# Linq

I'm currently having a rough time converting my SQL query to LINQ for a school project I'm using WPF and Entity Framework
here is my SQL query (working exactly as I expect)
select IngrediantName,sum(IngrediantQuantity) as Quantity, IngrediantMeasurementUnit from Users
join Shopping_List
on Users.UserID = Shopping_List.ShoppingListID
join List_Item
on List_Item.ShoppingListID = Shopping_List.ShoppingListID
join Ingrediant
on Ingrediant.IngrediantID = List_Item.IngrediantID
where Users.UserID = 1
group by IngrediantName,IngrediantMeasurementUnit
Here is the query that I have so far
var query = from user in dbContext.Users
join shoppingList in dbContext.ShoppingLists on user.UserId equals shoppingList.UserId
join listItem in dbContext.ListItems on shoppingList.ShoppingListId equals listItem.ShoppingListId
join ingrediant in dbContext.Ingrediants on listItem.IngrediantId equals ingrediant.IngrediantId
where currentUserNumber == user.UserId
select new
{
name = ingrediant.IngrediantName,
quantity = ingrediant.IngrediantQuantity,
unit = ingrediant.IngrediantMeasurementUnit,
};
Here is what i try so far
var query = from user in dbContext.Users
join shoppingList in dbContext.ShoppingLists on user.UserId equals shoppingList.UserId
join listItem in dbContext.ListItems on shoppingList.ShoppingListId equals listItem.ShoppingListId
join ingrediant in dbContext.Ingrediants on listItem.IngrediantId equals ingrediant.IngrediantId
where currentUserNumber == user.UserId
group ingrediant by ingrediant.IngrediantQuantity into x
select new
{
name = x.GroupBy(x => x.IngrediantName),
quantity = x.Sum(x => x.IngrediantQuantity),
unit = x.GroupBy(x => x.IngrediantMeasurementUnit),
};
this one return the following error wiches doesn't tell much
Argument type 'System.Linq.IQueryable1[System.Linq.IGrouping2[System.String,Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Query.TransparentIdentifierFactory+TransparentIdentifier2[Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Query.TransparentIdentifierFactory+TransparentIdentifier2
If someone could point me in the right direction I would appreciate it, if you need more info I will provide it for sure
Thanks

UPDATE
I got this working here the answers to the question for anyone else
var query =
from user in dbContext.Users
join shoppingList in dbContext.ShoppingLists
on user.UserId equals shoppingList.UserId
join listItem in dbContext.ListItems
on shoppingList.ShoppingListId equals listItem.ShoppingListId
join ingrediant in dbContext.Ingrediants
on listItem.IngrediantId equals ingrediant.IngrediantId
where currentUserNumber == user.UserId
group ingrediant by new { name = ingrediant.IngrediantName, unit = ingrediant.IngrediantMeasurementUnit } into x
select new
{
name = x.Key.name,
quantity = x.Sum(x => x.IngrediantQuantity),
unit = x.Key.unit,
};
if you look at the group line
group ingrediant by new { name = ingrediant.IngrediantName, unit = ingrediant.IngrediantMeasurementUnit } into x
from my understanding you use the new to create a new selector then you can use x.key.name and x.key.unit where name and unit are simply some variable

LINQ to Entities grouping

I have written the following SQL-query that illustrates what I'm trying to achieve:
SELECT
K.id,
SUM(BP.pris)
FROM Kunde K
JOIN Booking BO ON K.id = BO.Kunde_id
JOIN Bane_Booking BB ON BO.id = BB.Booking_id
JOIN Banepris BP ON BO.starttid = BP.time
WHERE BO.gratis = 0
GROUP BY K.id;
Basically it's retrieving the total amount spend by customers. Now I'm trying to convert this query into LINQ, as I'm using LINQ to Entities in my application. This is what I have so far:
from kunde in context.Kunde
join booking in context.Booking on kunde equals booking.Kunde
join banepris in context.Banepris on booking.starttid equals banepris.time
from baneBooking in booking.Bane
select new { Kunde = kunde, Booking = booking, BaneBooking = baneBooking, Banepris = banepris };
I would like however to be able to group these in the same LINQ-query so I dont have to group them manually afterwards. How would i go about achieving this?
I need to get the "kunde"-object and the sum of "banepris.pris".

Without your database, I can't test this, but this should be close:
from K in context.Kunde
join BO in context.Booking on K.id equals BO.Kunde_id
join BP in context.Banepris on BO.starttid equals BP.time
where BO.gratis == 0
group new { Kunde = K, Pris = BP.pris } by K.id into g
select new { ID=g.Key, Kunde = g.First().Kunde, Sum = g.Sum(k=>k.Pris)}

Adding Count Column to LINQ query Based on Joined Table

So I have a SQL view that I've created that provides me what I need. Essentially it's a job position billeting system that shows how many positions have been authorized vs filled (or assigned).
SELECT Companies.Name AS Company, Grades.Name AS Grade, Series.Name
AS Series, Positions.Authorized, COUNT(People.PersonId) AS Assigned
FROM Companies INNER JOIN
Positions ON Companies.Id = Positions.CompanyId INNER JOIN
Series ON Positions.SeriesId = Series.Id INNER JOIN
Grades ON Positions.GradeId = Grades.Id INNER JOIN
People ON Positions.CompanyId = People.CompanyId AND
Positions.SeriesId = People.SeriesId AND Positions.GradeId = People.GradeId
GROUP BY Companies.Name, Grades.Name, Series.Name, Positions.Authorized
Now what I'd like to be able to do is recreate this in a LINQ query. I've almost got it where I need it; however, I can't figure out how to add the counted column at the end that's based on the People table.
Here's my current LINQ query:
var query = from a in db.Companies
join b in db.Positions on a.Id equals b.CompanyId
join c in db.Series on b.SeriesId equals c.Id
join d in db.Grades on b.GradeId equals d.Id
join e in db.People on new { b.CompanyId, b.SeriesId, b.GradeId } equals new { e.CompanyId, e.SeriesId, e.GradeId }
group a by new { CompanyName = a.Name, GradeName = d.Name, SeriesName = c.Name, b.Authorized, e.PersonId } into f
select new { Company = f.Key.CompanyName, Grade = f.Key.GradeName, Series = f.Key.SeriesName, f.Key.Authorized, Assigned = /* needs to be Count(People.PersonId) based on last join */ )};
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

Figured it out. The reason why it was posting multiple rows and not doing a proper count on the same row was because in my "group by" I added in "e.PersonId" when it should have simply been removed. I also had to add a few things to make it work on the front-end razor views since it's an anonymous type (this doesn't have anything to do with the original question, but thought I'd give reason to the changes). So the person who removed their answer, you were partially right, but the reason it wasn't working was because of the additional fieldin the group by:
dynamic query = (from a in db.Companies
join b in db.Positions on a.Id equals b.CompanyId
join c in db.Series on b.SeriesId equals c.Id
join d in db.Grades on b.GradeId equals d.Id
join e in db.People on new { b.CompanyId, b.SeriesId, b.GradeId } equals new { e.CompanyId, e.SeriesId, e.GradeId }
group a by new { CompanyName = a.Name, GradeName = d.Name, SeriesName = c.Name, b.Authorized } into f
select new { Company = f.Key.CompanyName, Grade = f.Key.GradeName, Series = f.Key.SeriesName, Authorized = f.Key.Authorized, Assigned = f.Count()}).AsEnumerable().Select(r => r.ToExpando());
And what it looks like on the page:

Nullable object must have a value. Linq FK

I am newish to linq and get this error everytime I do this join. One of the fields I'm joining on is nullable.
try
{
DCEDataContext dc = new DCEDataContext();
List<Account> AcctWithChild=new List<Account>();
AcctWithChild.Add(Account.GetById(3));
//var query = (from acct in AcctWithChild
List<CTRAC.WebApi.Models.Organization> Organizations = (from acct in AcctWithChild
join allOrg in dc.Organizations on acct.ID equals allOrg.AccountID
join allEngage in dc.Engagements on allOrg.in_id equals allEngage.OrganizationID
join allEngageForm in dc.EngagementForms on allEngage.ID equals allEngageForm.EngagementID
join allEnFormSub in dc.EngagementFormFilingSubmissions on allEngageForm.ID equals allEnFormSub.EngagementFormID
into EngagementFormFilingSubGroup
from allEnFormSub in EngagementFormFilingSubGroup.DefaultIfEmpty()
where allOrg.AccountID.HasValue
select new CTRAC.WebApi.Models.Organization { Name = allOrg.vc_BusinessName, OrganizationID = allOrg.OrganizationId,Return990_Id=allEngageForm.ID, EfileSubmissionDate=allEnFormSub.Timestamp }).Take(100).ToList();
edit When I make EfileSubmisionDate=null It goes through but setting it to allEnFormSub.Times which is sumtimes null gives me an error.

May be using HasValue
List<CTRAC.WebApi.Models.Organization> Organizations = (from acct in AcctWithChild
join allOrg in dc.Organizations on acct.ID equals allOrg.AccountID??0
let MYID=allOrg.Field<Int?>("AccountID")
where MYID.HasValue
select new CTRAC.WebApi.Models.Organization { Name = allOrg.vc_BusinessName, OrganizationID = allOrg.OrganizationId,Return990_Id=5, EfileSubmissionDate=acct.TrialBegin.Value }).ToList();

What is the syntax for an inner join in LINQ to SQL?

I'm writing a LINQ to SQL statement, and I'm after the standard syntax for a normal inner join with an ON clause in C#.
How do you represent the following in LINQ to SQL:
select DealerContact.*
from Dealer
inner join DealerContact on Dealer.DealerID = DealerContact.DealerID

It goes something like:
from t1 in db.Table1
join t2 in db.Table2 on t1.field equals t2.field
select new { t1.field2, t2.field3}
It would be nice to have sensible names and fields for your tables for a better example. :)
Update
I think for your query this might be more appropriate:
var dealercontacts = from contact in DealerContact
join dealer in Dealer on contact.DealerId equals dealer.ID
select contact;
Since you are looking for the contacts, not the dealers.

And because I prefer the expression chain syntax, here is how you do it with that:
var dealerContracts = DealerContact.Join(Dealer,
contact => contact.DealerId,
dealer => dealer.DealerId,
(contact, dealer) => contact);

To extend the expression chain syntax answer by Clever Human:
If you wanted to do things (like filter or select) on fields from both tables being joined together -- instead on just one of those two tables -- you could create a new object in the lambda expression of the final parameter to the Join method incorporating both of those tables, for example:
var dealerInfo = DealerContact.Join(Dealer,
dc => dc.DealerId,
d => d.DealerId,
(dc, d) => new { DealerContact = dc, Dealer = d })
.Where(dc_d => dc_d.Dealer.FirstName == "Glenn"
&& dc_d.DealerContact.City == "Chicago")
.Select(dc_d => new {
dc_d.Dealer.DealerID,
dc_d.Dealer.FirstName,
dc_d.Dealer.LastName,
dc_d.DealerContact.City,
dc_d.DealerContact.State });
The interesting part is the lambda expression in line 4 of that example:
(dc, d) => new { DealerContact = dc, Dealer = d }
...where we construct a new anonymous-type object which has as properties the DealerContact and Dealer records, along with all of their fields.
We can then use fields from those records as we filter and select the results, as demonstrated by the remainder of the example, which uses dc_d as a name for the anonymous object we built which has both the DealerContact and Dealer records as its properties.

var results = from c in db.Companies
join cn in db.Countries on c.CountryID equals cn.ID
join ct in db.Cities on c.CityID equals ct.ID
join sect in db.Sectors on c.SectorID equals sect.ID
where (c.CountryID == cn.ID) && (c.CityID == ct.ID) && (c.SectorID == company.SectorID) && (company.SectorID == sect.ID)
select new { country = cn.Name, city = ct.Name, c.ID, c.Name, c.Address1, c.Address2, c.Address3, c.CountryID, c.CityID, c.Region, c.PostCode, c.Telephone, c.Website, c.SectorID, Status = (ContactStatus)c.StatusID, sector = sect.Name };
return results.ToList();

You create a foreign key, and LINQ-to-SQL creates navigation properties for you. Each Dealer will then have a collection of DealerContacts which you can select, filter, and manipulate.
from contact in dealer.DealerContacts select contact
or
context.Dealers.Select(d => d.DealerContacts)
If you're not using navigation properties, you're missing out one of the main benefits on LINQ-to-SQL - the part that maps the object graph.

Use Linq Join operator:
var q = from d in Dealer
join dc in DealerConact on d.DealerID equals dc.DealerID
select dc;

basically LINQ join operator provides no benefit for SQL. I.e. the following query
var r = from dealer in db.Dealers
from contact in db.DealerContact
where dealer.DealerID == contact.DealerID
select dealerContact;
will result in INNER JOIN in SQL
join is useful for IEnumerable<> because it is more efficient:
from contact in db.DealerContact
clause would be re-executed for every dealer
But for IQueryable<> it is not the case. Also join is less flexible.

Actually, often it is better not to join, in linq that is. When there are navigation properties a very succinct way to write your linq statement is:
from dealer in db.Dealers
from contact in dealer.DealerContacts
select new { whatever you need from dealer or contact }
It translates to a where clause:
SELECT <columns>
FROM Dealer, DealerContact
WHERE Dealer.DealerID = DealerContact.DealerID

Inner join two tables in linq C#
var result = from q1 in table1
join q2 in table2
on q1.Customer_Id equals q2.Customer_Id
select new { q1.Name, q1.Mobile, q2.Purchase, q2.Dates }

Use LINQ joins to perform Inner Join.
var employeeInfo = from emp in db.Employees
join dept in db.Departments
on emp.Eid equals dept.Eid
select new
{
emp.Ename,
dept.Dname,
emp.Elocation
};

Try this :
var data =(from t1 in dataContext.Table1 join
t2 in dataContext.Table2 on
t1.field equals t2.field
orderby t1.Id select t1).ToList();

OperationDataContext odDataContext = new OperationDataContext();
var studentInfo = from student in odDataContext.STUDENTs
join course in odDataContext.COURSEs
on student.course_id equals course.course_id
select new { student.student_name, student.student_city, course.course_name, course.course_desc };
Where student and course tables have primary key and foreign key relationship

try instead this,
var dealer = from d in Dealer
join dc in DealerContact on d.DealerID equals dc.DealerID
select d;

var Data= (from dealer in Dealer join dealercontact in DealerContact on dealer.ID equals dealercontact.DealerID
select new{
dealer.Id,
dealercontact.ContactName
}).ToList();

var data=(from t in db.your tableName(t1)
join s in db.yourothertablename(t2) on t1.fieldname equals t2.feldname
(where condtion)).tolist();

var list = (from u in db.Users join c in db.Customers on u.CustomerId equals c.CustomerId where u.Username == username
select new {u.UserId, u.CustomerId, u.ClientId, u.RoleId, u.Username, u.Email, u.Password, u.Salt, u.Hint1, u.Hint2, u.Hint3, u.Locked, u.Active,c.ProfilePic}).First();
Write table names you want, and initialize the select to get the result of fields.

from d1 in DealerContrac join d2 in DealerContrac on d1.dealearid equals d2.dealerid select new {dealercontract.*}

One Best example
Table Names : TBL_Emp and TBL_Dep
var result = from emp in TBL_Emp join dep in TBL_Dep on emp.id=dep.id
select new
{
emp.Name;
emp.Address
dep.Department_Name
}
foreach(char item in result)
{ // to do}
