[c#] LINQ: combining join and group by

I have a query that combines a join and a group, but I have a problem. The query is like:

 var result = from p in Products                         
 join bp in BaseProducts on p.BaseProductId equals bp.Id                    
 group p by p.SomeId into pg                         
 select new ProductPriceMinMax { 
       SomeId = pg.FirstOrDefault().SomeId, 
       CountryCode = pg.FirstOrDefault().CountryCode, 
       MinPrice = pg.Min(m => m.Price), 
       MaxPrice = pg.Max(m => m.Price),
       BaseProductName = bp.Name  <------ can't use bp. 
 };

As you see, it joins the Products table with the BaseProducts table, and groups on an id of the Product table. But in the resulting ProductPriceMinMax, I also need a property of the BaseProducts table: bp.Name, but it doesn't know bp.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

The answer is


I met the same problem as you.

I push two tables result into t1 object and group t1.

 from p in Products                         
  join bp in BaseProducts on p.BaseProductId equals bp.Id
  select new {
   p,
   bp
  } into t1
 group t1 by t1.p.SomeId into g
 select new ProductPriceMinMax { 
  SomeId = g.FirstOrDefault().p.SomeId, 
  CountryCode = g.FirstOrDefault().p.CountryCode, 
  MinPrice = g.Min(m => m.bp.Price), 
  MaxPrice = g.Max(m => m.bp.Price),
  BaseProductName = g.FirstOrDefault().bp.Name
};

We did it like this:

from p in Products                         
join bp in BaseProducts on p.BaseProductId equals bp.Id                    
where !string.IsNullOrEmpty(p.SomeId) && p.LastPublished >= lastDate                         
group new { p, bp } by new { p.SomeId } into pg    
let firstproductgroup = pg.FirstOrDefault()
let product = firstproductgroup.p
let baseproduct = firstproductgroup.bp
let minprice = pg.Min(m => m.p.Price)
let maxprice = pg.Max(m => m.p.Price)
select new ProductPriceMinMax
{
SomeId = product.SomeId,
BaseProductName = baseproduct.Name,
CountryCode = product.CountryCode,
MinPrice = minprice, 
MaxPrice = maxprice
};

EDIT: we used the version of AakashM, because it has better performance
