  11.     {  
  12.         DataClasses1DataContext objContext = new DataClasses1DataContext();  
  13.         protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)  
  14.         {  
  15.             var query = from r in objContext.Employees  
  16.                         join s in objContext.Departments  
  17.                         on r.DeptId equals s.DeptId  
  18.                         select new  
  19.                         {
