Get only one (last) entry in a one-to-many connection with linq-to-entity

Question

I have the following in linq-to-entity

clientprojects = (from p in this.SAPMappingEntities.SAP_Master_Projects 
join c in this.SAPMappingEntities.SAP_Master_ProjectPartners on c.project_no equals p.project_no
where c.partner_name.Contains(clientstring)
orderby p.start descending 
select new ClientProjects { client = c.partner_name, location = c.city +", "+c.region, project_no = c.project_no, start_dt = p.start, end_dt = p.finish }).Take(50).ToList();

I would like to modify this query so that for each file SAP_Master_Project, an entry SAP_Master_ProjectPartners is received with the latest update_dt. How can i do this?

EDIT

There is a project table with a project number and project information, including project start and end dates. There is a table of project partners with the number of the project partner, name, project number, date of update and other information.

SAP_MASTER_PROJECT

project_no

start

finish

SAP_MASTER_PROJECTPARTNERS

partner_no

project_no

PARTNER_NAME

city

region

update_dt

"ABC" , , , - , , , 50 ( ), "ABC".

, , SQL , :

SELECT TOP 50 p.project_no, p.start, p.finish, c.partner_name, c.city, c.region
FROM 
(select pp.project_no, pp.partner_name, pp.city, pp.region
from SAP_Master_ProjectPartners pp
where pp.partner_name LIKE @clientstring AND pp.update_dt = (select max(pp1.update_dt)
                       from SAP_Master_ProjectPartners pp1
                       where pp1.project_no = pp.project_no)) c
join SAP_Master_Projects p
on (p.project_no = c.project_no)
ORDER BY p.start DESC

# 2 sql , update_dt, sql . linq.

SELECT TOP 50 p.project_no, p.start, p.finish, c.partner_name, c.city, c.region, c.update_dt, c.row_id
FROM SAP_Master_Projects p
join
(select pp.project_no, pp.partner_name, pp.city, pp.region, pp.update_dt, pp.row_id

SELECT *
  FROM MasterProjects p
       INNER JOIN (SELECT project_no,
                          partner_name
                     FROM ProjectPartners o

               ON p.project_no = c.project_no
              AND p.partner_name = c.partner_name

, LINQ, :

var clientprojects =
    from p in MasterProjects
    join c in ProjectPartners on p.project_no == c.project_no
   where c.partner_name == (from o in ProjectPartners
                           where o.project_no == c.project_no
                             and o.update_dt == (from i in ProjectParters
                                                where o.project_no = i.project_no
                                               select i.update_dt).Max()
                          select o.partner_name).First();

I do not speak your language, sorry. But, for example, in MySql you can add sort by update_dt DESC LIMIT 1, can you do this or something similar?
