现在作为一个扩展方法:

public static class LinqExt
{
    public static IEnumerable<TResult> LeftOuterJoin<TLeft, TRight, TKey, TResult>(this IEnumerable<TLeft> left, IEnumerable<TRight> right, Func<TLeft, TKey> leftKey, Func<TRight, TKey> rightKey,
        Func<TLeft, TRight, TResult> result)
    {
        return left.GroupJoin(right, leftKey, rightKey, (l, r) => new { l, r })
             .SelectMany(
                 o => o.r.DefaultIfEmpty(),
                 (l, r) => new { lft= l.l, rght = r })
             .Select(o => result.Invoke(o.lft, o.rght));
    }
}

像平常使用join一样使用:

var contents = list.LeftOuterJoin(list2, 
             l => l.country, 
             r => r.name,
            (l, r) => new { count = l.Count(), l.country, l.reason, r.people })

希望这能为您节省一些时间。

看一下这个例子。 这个查询应该工作:

var leftFinal = from left in lefts
                join right in rights on left equals right.Left into leftRights
                from leftRight in leftRights.DefaultIfEmpty()
                select new { LeftId = left.Id, RightId = left.Key==leftRight.Key ? leftRight.Id : 0 };

这是我使用的LeftJoin实现。注意，resultSelector表达式接受2个参数:来自连接两端的一个实例。在我看到的大多数其他实现中，结果选择器只接受一个参数，这是一个具有左/右或外部/内部属性的“连接模型”。我更喜欢这个实现，因为它具有与内置Join方法相同的方法签名。它也适用于IQueryables和EF。

 var results = DbContext.Categories
      .LeftJoin(
            DbContext.Products, c => c.Id, p => p.CategoryId,
            (c, p) => new { Category = c, ProductName = p == null ? "(No Products)" : p.ProductName })
      .ToList();

public static class QueryableExtensions
{
    public static IQueryable<TResult> LeftJoin<TOuter, TInner, TKey, TResult>(
           this IQueryable<TOuter> outer, 
           IEnumerable<TInner> inner, Expression<Func<TOuter, TKey>> outerKeySelector, 
           Expression<Func<TInner, TKey>> innerKeySelector, 
           Expression<Func<TOuter, TInner, TResult>> resultSelector)
    {
        var query = outer
            .GroupJoin(inner, outerKeySelector, innerKeySelector, (o, i) => new { o, i })
            .SelectMany(o => o.i.DefaultIfEmpty(), (x, i) => new { x.o, i });
        return ApplySelector(query, x => x.o, x => x.i, resultSelector);
    }

    private static IQueryable<TResult> ApplySelector<TSource, TOuter, TInner, TResult>(
        IQueryable<TSource> source,
        Expression<Func<TSource, TOuter>> outerProperty,
        Expression<Func<TSource, TInner>> innerProperty,
        Expression<Func<TOuter, TInner, TResult>> resultSelector)
    {
        var p = Expression.Parameter(typeof(TSource), $"param_{Guid.NewGuid()}".Replace("-", string.Empty));
        Expression body = resultSelector?.Body
            .ReplaceParameter(resultSelector.Parameters[0], outerProperty.Body.ReplaceParameter(outerProperty.Parameters[0], p))
            .ReplaceParameter(resultSelector.Parameters[1], innerProperty.Body.ReplaceParameter(innerProperty.Parameters[0], p));
        var selector = Expression.Lambda<Func<TSource, TResult>>(body, p);
        return source.Select(selector);
    }
}

public static class ExpressionExtensions
{
    public static Expression ReplaceParameter(this Expression source, ParameterExpression toReplace, Expression newExpression)
        => new ReplaceParameterExpressionVisitor(toReplace, newExpression).Visit(source);
}

public class ReplaceParameterExpressionVisitor : ExpressionVisitor
{
    public ReplaceParameterExpressionVisitor(ParameterExpression toReplace, Expression replacement)
    {
        this.ToReplace = toReplace;
        this.Replacement = replacement;
    }

    public ParameterExpression ToReplace { get; }
    public Expression Replacement { get; }
    protected override Expression VisitParameter(ParameterExpression node)
        => (node == ToReplace) ? Replacement : base.VisitParameter(node);
}

使用lambda表达式

db.Categories    
  .GroupJoin(db.Products,
      Category => Category.CategoryId,
      Product => Product.CategoryId,
      (x, y) => new { Category = x, Products = y })
  .SelectMany(
      xy => xy.Products.DefaultIfEmpty(),
      (x, y) => new { Category = x.Category, Product = y })
  .Select(s => new
  {
      CategoryName = s.Category.Name,     
      ProductName = s.Product.Name   
  });

如果需要连接和筛选某些东西，可以在连接之外完成。可以在创建集合之后进行筛选。

在这种情况下，如果我在连接条件中这样做，我减少了返回的行。

使用三元条件(= n == null ?"__": n.MonDayNote，)

如果对象为空(因此不匹配)，则返回?后面的内容。__，在这种情况下。 否则，返回:，n.MonDayNote后面的内容。

感谢其他贡献者，这是我开始自己的问题。

有三个表:persons, schools和persons_schools，它将人与他们所学习的学校联系起来。表persons_schools中没有对id=6的person的引用。但是id=6的人显示在左连接的结果网格中。

List<Person> persons = new List<Person>
{
    new Person { id = 1, name = "Alex", phone = "4235234" },
    new Person { id = 2, name = "Bob", phone = "0014352" },
    new Person { id = 3, name = "Sam", phone = "1345" },
    new Person { id = 4, name = "Den", phone = "3453452" },
    new Person { id = 5, name = "Alen", phone = "0353012" },
    new Person { id = 6, name = "Simon", phone = "0353012" }
};

List<School> schools = new List<School>
{
    new School { id = 1, name = "Saint. John's school"},
    new School { id = 2, name = "Public School 200"},
    new School { id = 3, name = "Public School 203"}
};

List<PersonSchool> persons_schools = new List<PersonSchool>
{
    new PersonSchool{id_person = 1, id_school = 1},
    new PersonSchool{id_person = 2, id_school = 2},
    new PersonSchool{id_person = 3, id_school = 3},
    new PersonSchool{id_person = 4, id_school = 1},
    new PersonSchool{id_person = 5, id_school = 2}
    //a relation to the person with id=6 is absent
};

var query = from person in persons
            join person_school in persons_schools on person.id equals person_school.id_person
            into persons_schools_joined
            from person_school_joined in persons_schools_joined.DefaultIfEmpty()
            from school in schools.Where(var_school => person_school_joined == null ? false : var_school.id == person_school_joined.id_school).DefaultIfEmpty()
            select new { Person = person.name, School = school == null ? String.Empty : school.name };

foreach (var elem in query)
{
    System.Console.WriteLine("{0},{1}", elem.Person, elem.School);
}
