If I inner join in a linq-to-sql, what kind of a return type do I get?

Question

Hi,

Say I have a Article object, and a Category object.

The article object has a CategoryID property.

With linq-to-sql, how would I get list of articles and its associated category?

What will the return type be?

Answer 1

it will return an "Anonymous Type" that is of the shape of what you define in your select.
