c# - Entity Framework Join 3 Tables

Question

I'm trying to join three tables but I can't understand the method...

I completed join 2 tables

        var entryPoint = dbContext.tbl_EntryPoint
            .Join(dbContext.tbl_Entry,
                c => c.EID,
                cm => cm.EID,
                (c, cm) => new
                {
                    UID = cm.OwnerUID,
                    TID = cm.TID,
                    EID = c.EID,
                }).
            Where(a => a.UID == user.UID).Take(10);

I would like to include tbl_Title table with TID PK and get Title field.

Thanks a lot

I think it will be easier using syntax-based query:

var entryPoint = (from ep in dbContext.tbl_EntryPoint
                 join e in dbContext.tbl_Entry on ep.EID equals e.EID
                 join t in dbContext.tbl_Title on e.TID equals t.TID
                 where e.OwnerID == user.UID
                 select new {
                     UID = e.OwnerID,
                     TID = e.TID,
                     Title = t.Title,
                     EID = e.EID
                 }).Take(10);

And you should probably add orderby clause, to make sure Top(10) returns correct top ten items.
