LeftJoinExtensionLeftJoinTFirst, TSecond, TKey, TResult(IEnumerableTFirst, IEnumerableTSecond, FuncTFirst, TKey, FuncTSecond, TKey, FuncTFirst, TResult, FuncTFirst, TSecond, TResult) Method

Performs a left outer join on two heterogeneous sequences. Additional arguments specify key selection functions and result projection functions.

Definition

Namespace: MoreLinq.Extensions
Assembly: MoreLinq (in MoreLinq.dll) Version: 3.4.0+b99a6a8cc504caf2d48372fe54a2f8116c59cd0c
C#
public static IEnumerable<TResult> LeftJoin<TFirst, TSecond, TKey, TResult>(
	this IEnumerable<TFirst> first,
	IEnumerable<TSecond> second,
	Func<TFirst, TKey> firstKeySelector,
	Func<TSecond, TKey> secondKeySelector,
	Func<TFirst, TResult> firstSelector,
	Func<TFirst, TSecond, TResult> bothSelector
)

Parameters

first  IEnumerableTFirst
The first sequence of the join operation.
second  IEnumerableTSecond
The second sequence of the join operation.
firstKeySelector  FuncTFirst, TKey
Function that projects the key given an element from first.
secondKeySelector  FuncTSecond, TKey
Function that projects the key given an element from second.
firstSelector  FuncTFirst, TResult
Function that projects the result given just an element from first where there is no corresponding element in second.
bothSelector  FuncTFirst, TSecond, TResult
Function that projects the result given an element from first and an element from second that match on a common key.

Type Parameters

TFirst
The type of elements in the first sequence.
TSecond
The type of elements in the second sequence.
TKey
The type of the key returned by the key selector functions.
TResult
The type of the result elements.

Return Value

IEnumerableTResult
A sequence containing results projected from a left outer join of the two input sequences.

Usage Note

In Visual Basic and C#, you can call this method as an instance method on any object of type IEnumerableTFirst. When you use instance method syntax to call this method, omit the first parameter. For more information, see Extension Methods (Visual Basic) or Extension Methods (C# Programming Guide).
