I'm currently learning how to query using linq.
I'm stuck on how to translate the following sql query to linq.

select (select top 1 fname + lastname from EmployeeList emp where stud.id = emp.childId) as [Parent Name],
   stud.name,
   stud.address
from Students stud

What I have tried:

var query = from stud in Students
              select new
              {
                Name = stud.name,
                Address= stud.address
              };

I dont know how to proceed. Please guide me. Thank you very much..

You're on the right track.

C#

var query = from stud in Students
              select new
              {
                ParentName = (from emp in EmplyeeList where emp.childId = stud.id select new { pname = string.Concat(emp.fname, " ", emp.lastname) }).First()
                Name = stud.name,
                Address= stud.address
              };

But... your query needs optimization by using joins[^].
