[Entity Framework] Using Include with lambda expressions
Read OriginalThis technical article addresses a common pain point in Entity Framework 4: using string paths with the Include method for eager loading. It details the drawbacks of strings (lack of compile-time checking and refactoring support) and provides a solution using lambda expressions. The guide walks through creating an extension method to extract property names from simple expressions and discusses the complexity of handling nested properties (e.g., OrderDetails.Product) using ExpressionVisitor for robust, type-safe eager loading.
