linq inner join sub query and conditional select

Question

I have the following sql select statement that I am trying to convert to Linq:

SELECT a.lastname,a.firstname,a.program,a.[start],a.[end],
CASE WHEN a.[end] IS NULL AND a.[start] < c.lastStart THEN 1 ELSE 0 END as error,
CASE WHEN a.[end] IS NULL AND a.[start] = c.lastStart THEN 1 ELSE 0 END as loggedOn
FROM usagelog a 
INNER JOIN (SELECT b.username,max(b.[start]) AS lastStart FROM usagelog b GROUP BY b.username) c 
ON a.username = c.username
ORDER BY a.lastname, a.firstname,a.program,a.[start]

The results should look like the following:

I've got the following so far:

var query = (from u in UsageLogs
             orderby u.lastname,u.firstname,u.program.u.start
             select new
             {
              lastname = u.lastname,
              firstname = u.firstname,
              program = u.program,
              start = u.start,
              end = u.end
              })

I'm stuck on how to write the inner join with the additional select statement and the 'CASE' statements.

Any help would be appreciated.

you can use Lambda expressions group by and for conditional select use inline condition like below:

var query = (from u in UsageLogs
            join c in (UsageLogs.GroupBy(r => r.username).Select(r => new {username = r.Key, lastStart = r.Max(p => p.start)))
            on u.username equals c.username
            orderby u.lastname,u.firstname,u.program.u.start
            select new
            {
                lastname = u.lastname,
                firstname = u.firstname,
                program = u.program,
                start = u.start,
                end = u.end,
                error = (u.end == NULL && u.start < c.lastStart) ? 1 : 0,
                loggedOn = (u.end == NULL && u.start == c.lastStart) ? 1 : 0,
            });
