Linq query equivalent of exists with multiple conditions

I've been using linq for a little while now but haven't come across this situation anywhere and my google-fu let me down.
Basically I have two data sets which I did not define and now have to use to return data.
class Header
{
string COMPANY_CODE
string REFERENCE_NBR
string REFERENCE_DUPLICATE
...
}
class Line
{
string COMPANY_CODE
string REFERENCE_NBR
string REFERENCE_DUPLICATE
string STOCK_CODE
string DESCRIPTION
...
}
From a database perspective they join like this
select *
from Header
inner join Line
on header.COMPANY_CODE = Line.COMPANY_CODE
and header.REFERENCE_NBR = Line.REFERNCE_NBR
and header.REFERENCE_DUPLICATE = LINE.REFERENCE_DUPLICATE
and have a 1:Many relationship.
I'm implementing a search feature for a listing that is meant to find any Lines that with a value in STOCK_CODE or DESCRIPTION that matches a given search term. I have seen a couple of methods of joining using a linq query but because of the multiple join conditions I'm a bit lost and have not found any examples of what I'm trying to do.
If I were to write the statement I am trying to get in lamda/linq in SQL it would be:
declare #searchtxt nvarchar(max) = 'test'
Select *
from header h
where exists (
select *
from Line l
where
(
l.stock_code like '%'+#searchtxt+'%'
or l.description like '%'+#searchtxt+'%'
)
and h.COMPANY_CODE = l.COMPANY_CODE
and h.REFERENCE_NBR = l.REFERENCE_NBR
and h.REFERENCE_DUPLICATE = l.REFERENCE_DUPLICATE
)
Any help would be appreciated!

Perhaps, this?
var result = header.Where(h =>
Line.Any(l => (l.stock_code.Contains(searchtxt)
|| l.description.Contains(searchtxt))
&& h.COMPANY_CODE == l.COMPANY_CODE
&& h.REFERENCE_NBR == l.REFERENCE_NBR
&& h.REFERENCE_DUPLICATE == l.REFERENCE_DUPLICATE));

This is a traditional LINQ query for better understanding,
string searchtext = "";
var result = (from h in context.Headers
join l in context.Lines on new { h.COMPANY_CODE, h.REFERENCE_DUPLICATE, h.REFERENCE_NBR } equals new { l.COMPANY_CODE, l.REFERENCE_DUPLICATE, l.REFERENCE_NBR }
where l.STOCK_CODE.Contains(searchtext) || l.DESCRIPTION.Contains(searchtext)
select new
{
COMPANY_CODE = h.COMPANY_CODE,
STOCK_CODE = l.STOCK_CODE
//You can select more fields from "h" and "l"
}).ToList();
Edit:
string searchtext = "";
var result = (from h in context.Headers
join l in context.Lines on new { h.COMPANY_CODE, h.REFERENCE_DUPLICATE, h.REFERENCE_NBR } equals new { l.COMPANY_CODE, l.REFERENCE_DUPLICATE, l.REFERENCE_NBR }
where l.STOCK_CODE.Contains(searchtext) || l.DESCRIPTION.Contains(searchtext)
select h
)
.GroupBy(x => new { x.COMPANY_CODE, x.REFERENCE_DUPLICATE, x.REFERENCE_NBR })
.Select(x => x.First())
.ToList();

db.Header.Join(
db.Line,
h => new { h.COMPANY_CODE, h.REFERENCE_NBR, h.REFERENCE_DUPLICATE },
l => new { l.COMPANY_CODE, l.REFERENCE_NBR, l.REFERENCE_DUPLICATE },
(h, l) => new
{
Header_COMPANY_CODE = h.COMPANY_CODE,
Header_REFERENCE_NBR = h.REFERENCE_NBR,
Header_REFERENCE_DUPLICATE = h.REFERENCE_DUPLICATE,
Line_Company_Code = l.COMPANY_CODE,
Line_REFERENCE_NBR = l.REFERENCE_NBR,
Line_REFERENCE_DUPLICATE = l.REFERENCE_DUPLICATE,
Line_STOCK_CODE = l.STOCK_CODE,
Line_DESCRIPTION = l.DESCRIPTION
}
)
.Where(w => w.Line_STOCK_CODE.Contains(searchText) || w.Line_DESCRIPTION.Contains(searchText))
.ToList();

LINQ: How to write multiple conditions for "on" caluse?

I have difficulty in translating SQL to LINQ statement.
Here is SQL statement:
SELECT * FROM dataTableA INNER JOIN dataTableB ON dataTableA.ID =dataTableB.SNo OR
dataTableA.Address = dataTableB.Address
WHERE (dataTableA.Name = dataTableB.UserName)
It is OR part in On clause where I don't know how to write LINQ syntax. I have tried with below quote without OR condition. Kindly advise.
var matches = from rowA in dataTableA.AsEnumerable()
join rowB in dataTableB.AsEnumerable()
on rowA["ID"].ToString().Trim() equals rowB["SNo"].ToString().Trim()
where rowA["Name"].ToString().Trim() == rowB["UserName"].ToString().Trim()
select new { rowA, rowB } ;

Try this way
var matches = from rowA in dataTableA.AsEnumerable()
from rowB in dataTableB.AsEnumerable().Where(x=>x.SNo==rowA.ID || x.Address ==rowA.Address) .AsEnumerable()
where rowA["Name"].ToString().Trim() == rowB["UserName"].ToString().Trim()
select new { rowA, rowB } ;

You can use composite keys to join on both ID and Adress
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb907099.aspx
dataTableA.AsEnumerable().join(dataTableB.AsEnumerable(),
ta => new {ta.ID, ta.Adress}, tb => new {tb.SNo, tb.Adress},
(ta, tb) => new {ta, tb})
If you want to join on ID or Adress, you can union 2 joins, which I think should still be faster than n wheres: Why is LINQ JOIN so much faster than linking with WHERE?
dataTableA.AsEnumerable().join(dataTableB.AsEnumerable(),
ta => ta.ID, tb => tb.SNo, (ta, tb) => new {ta, tb})
.union(dataTableA.AsEnumerable().join(dataTableB.AsEnumerable(),
ta => ta.Adress, tb => tb.Adress, (ta, tb) => new {ta, tb}))

var matches = dataTableA.AsEnumerable()
.Select(a => new {
RowA = a,
RowB = dataTableB.AsEnumerable().FirstOrDefault(b => ((b["SNo"] == a["ID"]) || (b["Address"].Equals(a["Address"]))))
})
.Where(pair => pair.RowB != null) //to replicate the inner-join
.Where(pair => pair.RowA["Name"].Equals(pair.RowB["Username"]));

After minor changes to Mukesh Kalgude's answer, problem solved. Below here is finalized working codes. Thanks to all for your kind suggestions.
var matches = from rowA in dataTableA.AsEnumerable()
from rowB in dataTableB.AsEnumerable().Where(x=>x["SNo"]==rowA["ID"] || x["Address"]==rowA["Address"]) .AsEnumerable()
where rowA["Name"].ToString().Trim() == rowB["UserName"].ToString().Trim()
select new { rowA, rowB } ;

Linq Dynamic Query With Group By

I need extra where clause for my Linq query. For example if customer choose a date filter so i need to date filter to my query etc... When i try to myQuery.Where predicate there is visible just group by's field.
How can i append new where condition to my query.
//for example i need dynamically append o.OrderDate==Datetime.Now or another where clause
var myQuery =(from o in _db.Orders
join l in _db.OrderLines.Where(x => x.ParaBirimi == model.ParaBirimi) on o.orderId equals
l.OrderId
where o.OrderDate.Value.Year == year1
group o by new {o.OrderDate.Value.Month}
into g
select
new
{
Month = g.Key.Month,
Total = g.Select(t => t.OrderLines.Sum(s => s.OrderTotal)).FirstOrDefault()
});

You are too late at the end of the query to add new Where. You have already grouped the data, and projected it, removing nearly all the fields.
Try:
var baseQuery = from o in _db.Orders
join l in _db.OrderLines.Where(x => x.ParaBirimi == model.ParaBirimi) on o.orderId equals l.OrderId
where o.OrderDate.Value.Year == year1
select new { Order = o, OrderLine = l };
if (something)
{
baseQuery = baseQuery.Where(x => x.Order.Foo == "Bar");
}
var myQuery = (from o in baseQuery
group o by new { o.Order.OrderDate.Value.Month }
into g
select
new
{
Month = g.Key.Month,
Total = g.Sum(t => t.OrderLine.OrderTotal)
});
Clearly you can have multiple if. Each .Where() is in && (AND) with the other conditions.
Note how the result of the join is projected in an anonymous class that has two properties: Order and OrderLine

Linq Grouping with a sum

Hi All i have the following code
var deptSalesQuery = from d in db.DashboardFigures
join s in outlets.Split(',').Select(x => int.Parse(x)) on d.OutletNo equals s
where (d.TypeOfinformation == "DEPTSALES")
select new DeptSales
{
Dn = (int)d.Number,
On = d.OutletNo,
Qs = (double)d.Value_4,
Se = (double)d.Value_2,
Si = (double)d.Value_3
};
What i want to do is group the query by 'Dn' which is 'd.Number'and return
the sum of (double)d.Value_4 , (double)d.Value_2 , (double)d.Value_3. I have looked on the forum and some people have asked a similar question but for some reason its not working for me. Can anyone help ?
I have changed the code to
var deptSalesQuery = from d in db.DashboardFigures
join s in outlets.Split(',').Select(x => int.Parse(x)) on d.OutletNo equals s
where (d.TypeOfinformation == "DEPTSALES")
group d by d.Number into newGroupedresult
select new DeptSales
{
Qs = (double)newGroupedresult.Sum(d => d.Value_4),
Se = (double)newGroupedresult.Sum(d => d.Value_2),
Si = (double)newGroupedresult.Sum(d => d.Value_3)
};
but its not grouping, Its showing the individual records. Also I normally have Dn = D.Number, its not allowing me to put this.

deptSalesQuery
.GroupBy(x => x.Number)
.Select(g => new
{
Dn = g.Key,
Sum = g.Sum(x => x.Value_2 + x.Value_3 + Value_4)
});

Linq to select data from one table not in other table

Hi i have the following code to select data from one table not in other table
var result1 = (from e in db.Users
select e).ToList();
var result2 = (from e in db.Fi
select e).ToList();
List<string> listString = (from e in result1
where !(from m in result2
select m.UserID).Contains(e.UserID)
select e.UserName).ToList();
ViewBag.ddlUserId = listString;
Am getting value inside listString .But got error while adding listString to viewbag.
Unable to cast object of type 'System.Collections.Generic.List`1[System.String]' to type 'System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable`1[Main.Models.Admin.User]'.

First, could you update your question with the entire method so that we can see what might be going on with the ViewBag? Because your code should work just fine, assigning whatever value to the ViewBag is no problem normally:
ViewBag.property1 = 0;
ViewBag.property1 = "zero";
works just fine. ViewBag is dynamic. Now, you could get that error if you would later try to assing ViewBag.ddlUserId to something that actually is the wrong type.
I would like you to rewrite your statement as well, let me explain why. Assume for a moment that you have a lot ( > 100.000) of User records in your db.Users and we assume the same for Fi as well. In your code, result1 and result2 are now two lists, one containing >100.000 User objects and the other >100.000 Fi objects. Then these two lists are compared to each other to produce a list of strings. Now imagine the resource required for your web server to process this. Under the assumption that your actually using/accessing a separate SQL server to retrieve your data from, it would be a lot better and faster to let that server do the work, i.e. producing the list of UserID's.
For that you'd either use Kirill Bestemyanov's answer or the following:
var list = (from user in db.Users
where !db.Fi.Any(f => f.UserID == user.UserID)
select user.UserName).ToList()
This will produce just one query for the SQL server to execute:
SELECT
[Extent1].[UserName] AS [UserName]
FROM [dbo].[Users] AS [Extent1]
WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT
1 AS [C1]
FROM [dbo].[Fi] AS [Extent2]
WHERE [Extent2].[UserID] = [Extent1].[UserID]
)}
which in the end is what you want...
Just to clarify more:
var list = (from user in db.Users
where !db.Fi.Any(f => f.UserID == user.UserID)
select user.UserName).ToList()
can be written as the following lambda expression as well:
var list = db.Users.Where(user => !db.Fi.Any(f => f.UserID == user.UserID))
.Select(user => user.UserName).ToList()
which from the looks of it is slightly different from Kirill Bestemyanov's answer (which I slightly modified, just to make it look more similar):
var list = db.Users.Where(user => !db.Fi.Select(f => f.UserID)
.Contains(user.UserID))
.Select(user => user.UserName).ToList();
But, they will in fact produce the same SQL Statement, thus the same list.

I will rewrite it to linq extension methods:
List<string> listString = db.Users.Where(e=>!db.Fi.Select(m=>m.UserID)
.Contains(e.UserID))
.Select(e=>e.UserName).ToList();
try it, it should work.

Try this it is very simple.
var result=(from e in db.Users
select e.UserID).Except(from m in db.Fi
select m.UserID).ToList();

var res = db.tbl_Ware.where(a => a.tbl_Buy.Where(c => c.tbl_Ware.Title.Contains(mtrTxtWareTitle.Text)).Select(b => b.Ware_ID).Contains(a.ID));
This mean in T-SQL is:
SELECT * FROM tbl_Ware WHERE id IN (SELECT ware_ID, tbl_Buy WHErE tbl_Ware.title LIKE '% mtrTxtwareTitle.Text %')
