(the learning curve I have currently is like climbing a steep mountain of loose gravel)... OK. I have a silverlight 4 app. EF datamodel of my SQL database. Domain DataService making my Entities visible. Two entity tables are Projects and Change_Requests. Projects has primary key Project_ID. Change Requests has FK Product_ID. Change Requests have a SubdivisionID (int) field. They seem to be functioning as entities correctly. The GetProjectsQuery and GetChange_RequestQuery queries seem to be functional (all built automatically when creating the datamodel and domainservice). This works fine.. EntityQuery<Project> query = (from P in _Context.GetProjectsQuery() where P.Proj_Name.Contains(txtFilterProjectName.Text.Trim()) orderby P.Proj_Name select P); LoadOperation<Project> lo = _Context.Load<Project>(query); DataGridProjects.ItemsSource = lo.Entities; GetChange_RequestQuery works ok too. Now I'm trying to do the equivalent of a join or subquery to get Projects that have Change_Requests in a specific Change_Request.SubdivisionID. I've tried.. EntityQuery<Project> query = (from p in _Context.Projects from c in _Context.Change_Requests where p.Project_ID == c.Project_ID && c.Subdivision == SubdivisionID select p); I get an error .. Cannot implicitly convert type 'System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<ChangeManagement.Web.Project>' to 'System.ServiceModel.DomainServices.Client.EntityQuery<ChangeManagement.Web.Project>' OK, let's try using the Getmethods (like the one that worked above).. EntityQuery<Project> query = (from p in _Context.GetProjectsQuery() from c in _Context.GetChange_RequestQuery() where p.Project_ID == c.Project_ID && c.Subdivision.Equals(SubdivisionID) select p); Error.. Could not find an implementation of the query pattern for source type 'System.ServiceModel.DomainServices.Client.EntityQuery<ChangeManagement.Web.Project>'. 'SelectMany' not found. OK - let's try a join.. EntityQuery<Project> query = (from p in _Context.Projects join c in _Context.Change_Requests on p.Project_ID equals c.Project_ID where c.Subdivision.Equals(SubdivisionID) select p); Error.. Cannot implicitly convert type 'System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<ChangeManagement.Web.Project>' to 'System.ServiceModel.DomainServices.Client.EntityQuery<ChangeManagement.Web.Project>' What am I missing?? Apparently working with more than one entity changes the query to IEnumerable rather than EntityQuery? How do I get by this?
