i did the conversion using the cheat sheet here

Which i found in another of the same kind of post on stackoverflow.

Here is the soultion:

objDbread.Designer.Where(x => (x.SortName ?? string.Empty) != string.Empty).Join(objDbread.VariationDesigner, x => x.DesignerId, x1 => x1.DesignerId, (x1, x2) => new { x1, x2 }).Join(objDbread.ProductVariation, x3 => x3.x2.VariationId, x4 => x4.VariationId, (x3, x4) => new { x3, x4 }).Where(x5 => (x5.x4.IsActive ?? false)).OrderBy(x5 => x5.x3.x1.SortName).Select(x5 => x5.x3.x1).Distinct().ToList();

You need to get a copy of LinqPad (www.linqpad.net) and paste your query into it. There is a button that you click that allows you to see the corresponding Method syntax, which the compiler converts all Linq queries to.
