Defining a Left Join with LINQ Queries
LINQ supports the notion of equijoins and non-equijoins. Equijoin is contrived using the join on equals clause in a LINQ query. A non-equijoin is everything else, typical devised with a where predicate performing some test on elements from more than one sequence. And equijoin is fundamentally an inner join. An inner join correlates one element in one sequence with an element in another sequence. Only elements from each sequence that are correlated with an element in the other sequence is returned as a resultset of the LINQ query.
