C# linq左连接与分组

1.左连接使用DefaultIfEmpty()；

2.分组时候判断newper.FirstOrDefault() == null ? null: newper.ToList()这个经常出错误，如果不判断，会出现空引用的错误

class Program
    {
        class Person

            public string FirstName { get; set; }

                    }

                }
                else

                }
            }

            // Keep the console window open in debug mode.
            Console.WriteLine("Press any key to exit.");
            Console.ReadKey();
        }
    }
//output
//Magnus is owned by Daisy
//Terry is owned by Barley
//Terry is owned by Boots
//Terry is owned by Blue Moon
//Charlotte is owned by Whiskers
//Arlene is owned by 没有值
