    <p>I have a query that I generate by dynamic linq. The problem is when I self-join the initial data set, all other filters are on the latest table. I want it to be on the initial. How can I do that? Here is an example: </p> <pre><code>var result = dataContext.Person; var initialData = result; .... var subQuery = initialData.Where(String.Format(predicateEntityIn, entityPropertyName), subSelection); report = report.Join(subQuery, propertyName, propertyName, "inner"); ... </code></pre> <p>Then I want to filter the initial data on a parameter </p> <pre><code>report = report.Where(String.Format("{0} = {1}", "PersonId", paramValue)); </code></pre> <p>If I don't have the inner join then the query is correctly filtered, but with the inner join it does the filtering on the latest query of the initial type and also the select is on the latest table. The query that is generated is something like that:</p> <pre><code>SELECT DISTINCT [t2].[Field1], [t2].[PersonId], [t2].[Field2] FROM [dbo].[PersonDetails] AS [t0] INNER JOIN [dbo].[Person] AS [t1] ON [t1].[PersonId] = [t0].[PersonId] INNER JOIN [dbo].[PersonDetails] AS [t2] ON [t0].[PersonId] = [t2].[PersonId] WHERE ([t2].[YearOfBirth] = 2012) </code></pre> <p>But I want it to be: </p> <pre><code>SELECT DISTINCT [t0].[Field1], [t0].[PersonId], [t0].[Field2] FROM [dbo].[PersonDetails] AS [t0] INNER JOIN [dbo].[Person] AS [t1] ON [t1].[PersonId] = [t0].[PersonId] INNER JOIN [dbo].[PersonDetails] AS [t2] ON [t0].[PersonId] = [t2].[PersonId] WHERE ([t0].[YearOfBirth] = 2012) </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
