我倾向于这样的模式:

public class DogWithBreed
{
    public Dog Dog { get; set; }
    public string BreedName  { get; set; }
}

public IQueryable<DogWithBreed> GetDogsWithBreedNames()
{
    var db = new DogDataContext(ConnectString);
    var result = from d in db.Dogs
                 join b in db.Breeds on d.BreedId equals b.BreedId
                 select new DogWithBreed()
                        {
                            Dog = d,
                            BreedName = b.BreedName
                        };
    return result;
}

这意味着你有一个额外的类，但它是快速和容易编码，易于扩展，可重用和类型安全。

如果主要的想法是让SQL选择语句发送到数据库服务器只有必需的字段，而不是所有的实体字段，那么你可以这样做:

public class Class1
{
    public IList<Car> getCarsByProjectionOnSmallNumberOfProperties()
    {

        try
        {
            //Get the SQL Context:
            CompanyPossessionsDAL.POCOContext.CompanyPossessionsContext dbContext 
                = new CompanyPossessionsDAL.POCOContext.CompanyPossessionsContext();

            //Specify the Context of your main entity e.g. Car:
            var oDBQuery = dbContext.Set<Car>();

            //Project on some of its fields, so the created select statment that is
            // sent to the database server, will have only the required fields By making a new anonymouse type
            var queryProjectedOnSmallSetOfProperties 
                = from x in oDBQuery
                    select new
                    {
                        x.carNo,
                        x.eName,
                        x.aName
                    };

            //Convert the anonymouse type back to the main entity e.g. Car
            var queryConvertAnonymousToOriginal 
                = from x in queryProjectedOnSmallSetOfProperties
                    select new Car
                    {
                        carNo = x.carNo,
                        eName = x.eName,
                        aName = x.aName
                    };

            //return the IList<Car> that is wanted
            var lst = queryConvertAnonymousToOriginal.ToList();
            return lst;

        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(ex.ToString());
            throw;
        }
    }
}

您可以返回匿名类型，但这并不漂亮。

在这种情况下，我认为创建适当的类型会更好。如果只打算从包含该方法的类型中使用它，则将其设置为嵌套类型。

就我个人而言，我希望c#能够获得“命名匿名类型”——即与匿名类型相同的行为，但是有名称和属性声明，仅此而已。

EDIT: Others are suggesting returning dogs, and then accessing the breed name via a property path etc. That's a perfectly reasonable approach, but IME it leads to situations where you've done a query in a particular way because of the data you want to use - and that meta-information is lost when you just return IEnumerable<Dog> - the query may be expecting you to use (say) Breed rather than Ownerdue to some load options etc, but if you forget that and start using other properties, your app may work but not as efficiently as you'd originally envisaged. Of course, I could be talking rubbish, or over-optimising, etc...

如果你在你的数据库中有一个关系设置，在BreedId上有一个外键约束，你还没有得到吗?

所以我现在可以调用:

internal Album GetAlbum(int albumId)
{
    return Albums.SingleOrDefault(a => a.AlbumID == albumId);
}

在调用它的代码中:

var album = GetAlbum(1);

foreach (Photo photo in album.Photos)
{
    [...]
}

在你的实例中，你会调用像dog。breed。breedname这样的东西-正如我说的，这依赖于你的数据库是用这些关系建立的。

正如其他人所提到的，如果存在数据库调用问题，DataLoadOptions将有助于减少数据库调用。

在c# 7中你现在可以使用元组了!这样就不需要为了返回结果而创建一个类。

下面是一个示例代码:

public List<(string Name, string BreedName)> GetDogsWithBreedNames()
{
    var db = new DogDataContext(ConnectString);
    var result = from d in db.Dogs
             join b in db.Breeds on d.BreedId equals b.BreedId
             select new
             {
                Name = d.Name,
                BreedName = b.BreedName
             }.ToList();

    return result.Select(r => (r.Name, r.BreedName)).ToList();
}

您可能需要安装System。ValueTuple nuget包。

你可以这样做:

public System.Collections.IEnumerable GetDogsWithBreedNames()
{
    var db = new DogDataContext(ConnectString);
    var result = from d in db.Dogs
                 join b in db.Breeds on d.BreedId equals b.BreedId
                 select new
                        {
                            Name = d.Name,
                            BreedName = b.BreedName
                        };
    return result.ToList();
}
