How to flatten nested objects with linq expression

I am trying to flatten nested objects like this:

public class Book
{
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public IList<Chapter> Chapters { get; set; }
}

public class Chapter
{
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public IList<Page> Pages { get; set; }
}


public class Page
{
    public string Name { get; set; }
}

Let me make an example. This is the data I have

Book: Pro Linq 
{ 
   Chapter 1: Hello Linq 
   {
      Page 1, 
      Page 2, 
      Page 3
   },
   Chapter 2: C# Language enhancements
   {
      Page 4
   },
}

The result I am looking for is the following flat list:

"Pro Linq", "Hello Linq", "Page 1"
"Pro Linq", "Hello Linq", "Page 2"
"Pro Linq", "Hello Linq", "Page 3"
"Pro Linq", "C# Language enhancements", "Page 4"

How coul开发者_StackOverflow社区d I accomplish this? I could do it with a select new but I've been told that a SelectMany would be enough.

myBooks.SelectMany(b => b.Chapters
    .SelectMany(c => c.Pages
        .Select(p => b.Name + ", " + c.Name + ", " + p.Name)));

Assuming books is a List of Book:

var r = from b in books
    from c in b.Chapters
    from p in c.Pages
    select new {BookName = b.Name, ChapterName = c.Name, PageName = p.Name};

myBooks.SelectMany(b => b.Chapters
    .SelectMany(c => c.Pages
        .Select(p => new 
                {
                    BookName = b.Name ,
                    ChapterName = c.Name , 
                    PageName = p.Name
                });

I was trying to do this as well, and from Yuriy's comments and messing with linqPad I have this..

Note that I don't have books, chapters, pages, I have person (books), companyPerson (chapters) and companies (pages)

from person in Person
                           join companyPerson in CompanyPerson on person.Id equals companyPerson.PersonId into companyPersonGroups
                           from companyPerson in companyPersonGroups.DefaultIfEmpty()
                           select new
                           {
                               ContactPerson = person,
                               ContactCompany = companyPerson.Company
                           };

or

Person
   .GroupJoin (
      CompanyPerson, 
      person => person.Id, 
      companyPerson => companyPerson.PersonId, 
      (person, companyPersonGroups) => 
         new  
         {
            person = person, 
            companyPersonGroups = companyPersonGroups
         }
   )
   .SelectMany (
      temp0 => temp0.companyPersonGroups.DefaultIfEmpty (), 
      (temp0, companyPerson) => 
         new  
         {
            ContactPerson = temp0.person, 
            ContactCompany = companyPerson.Company
         }
   )
