    Hello,

    I'm new into using Linq and I need some help.
    I'm trying to write a query that create two outer joins between CRM 2011 entities. I believe it is many possible way of solving this, and I found an example that I tried to copy, but without success.

    My query tries to connect a Lead ("LeadSet") with SystemUser ("SystemUserSet") and PostCodes ("sea_postcodeSet)" by using Guids.

    Here is my code:

    The problem is that I get an error:

    System.InvalidOperationException: A 'SelectMany' operation must be preceeded by a 'Where' operation that filters by an entity ID.

    If I comment out either "SystemUserSet" or "sea_postcodeSet" the query returnes data.

    Any clue why..??

    regards,

    Marius Holm Enerud

    The syntax is similar to SQL in that you can only have one FROM and WHERE clause; you have multiple of each.  Take a look at the MSDN Linq Examples:

     var list_join = (from a in svcContext.AccountSet
                  join c in svcContext.ContactSet
                  on a.PrimaryContactId.Id equals c.ContactId
                  where a.Name == "Contoso Ltd" &&
                  a.Address1_Name == "Contoso Pharmaceuticals"
                  select a).ToList();

    Thanks, Chris!

    So how would you suggest my query should look like, following your example?
