Я пытаюсь заставить работать левое соединение в Linq с использованием ASP.NET Core и EntityFramework Core.

Простая ситуация с двумя таблицами:

Персона (идентификатор, имя, фамилия)PersonDetails (id, PersonId, DetailText)

Данные, которые я пытаюсь запросить, представляют собой Person.id, Person.firstname, Person.lastname и PersonDetails.DetailText. У некоторых людей нет DetailText, поэтому желаемый результат - NULL.

В SQL работает нормально

SELECT p.id, p.Firstname, p.Lastname, d.DetailText FROM Person p 
LEFT JOIN PersonDetails d on d.id = p.Id 
ORDER BY p.id ASC

результаты как и ожидалось:

# | id | firstname | lastname | detailtext
1 | 1  | First1    | Last1    | details1
2 | 2  | First2    | Last2    | details2
3 | 3  | First3    | Last3    | NULL

внутри моего контроллера Web API я запрашиваю:

[HttpGet]
public IActionResult Get()
{
    var result = from person in _dbContext.Person
                    join detail in _dbContext.PersonDetails on person.Id equals detail.PersonId
                    select new
                    {
                        id = person.Id,
                        firstname = person.Firstname,
                        lastname = person.Lastname,
                        detailText = detail.DetailText
                    };
   return Ok(result);
}

Результаты в чванстве отсутствуют. Человек 3 (без подробного текста)

[
  {
    "id": 1,
    "firstname": "First1",
    "lastname": "Last1",
    "detailText": "details1"
  },
  {
    "id": 2,
    "firstname": "First2",
    "lastname": "Last2",
    "detailText": "details2"
  }
]

Что я делаю не так в Linq?

Обновление 1:

Спасибо за ответы и ссылки до сих пор.

Я скопировал и вставил код (ы) ниже, используяinto а также.DefaultIfEmpty() и после некоторых дальнейших чтений я понимаю, что это должно работать.

К сожалению, это не так.

Сначала код начинает выдавать исключения, но все равно возвращается с первыми двумя результатами (с отсутствующими значениями NULL). Скопируйте Вставить из окна вывода:

Google дал мне это:"ЛЕВЫЕ НАРУЖНЫЕ ПРОБЛЕМЫ СОЕДИНЕНИЯ № 4002" так же как"Левое внешнее соединение @ Stackoverflow"

Теперь я не уверен, что это какая-то ошибка, которая либо существует, либо уже должна быть исправлена. Я использую EntityFramework Core RC2.

Решение 1. Свойства навигации

Как отметил Герт Арнольд в комментариях: используйте свойства навигации

Это означает, что (рабочий) запрос просто выглядит

var result = from person in _dbContext.Person
             select new
             {
                id = person.Id,
                firstname = person.Firstname,
                lastname = person.Lastname,
                detailText = person.PersonDetails.Select(d => d.DetailText).SingleOrDefault()
            };

return Ok(result);

В моем PersonExampleDB я не правильно установил внешний ключ, поэтому свойствоPersonDetails не был в модельном классе лесов. Но использовать это простейшее решение (и работает, и даже работает быстро) вместо объединения (см. Отчеты об ошибках).

Все еще рады обновлениям, когда способ соединения работает один раз.
