Explicitly Loading
collection指向对象集而reference指向的是单个对象
using (var context = new BloggingContext())
{
var post = context.Posts.Find(2);
// Load the blog related to a given post
context.Entry(post).Reference(p => p.Blog).Load();
// Load the blog related to a given post using a string
context.Entry(post).Reference("Blog").Load();
var blog = context.Blogs.Find(1);
// Load the posts related to a given blog
context.Entry(blog).Collection(p => p.Posts).Load();
// Load the posts related to a given blog
// using a string to specify the relationship
context.Entry(blog).Collection("Posts").Load();
}
The Query method provides access to the underlying query that the Entity Framework will use when loading related entities. You can then use LINQ to apply
filters to the query before executing it with a call to a LINQ extension method such as ToList, Load, etc. The Query method can be used with both reference
and collection navigation properties but is most useful for collections where it can be used to load only part of the collection.
using (var context = new BloggingContext())
{
var blog = context.Blogs.Find(1);
// Load the posts with the 'entity-framework' tag related to a given blog
context.Entry(blog)
.Collection(b => b.Posts)
.Query()
.Where(p => p.Tags.Contains("entity-framework")
.Load();
// Load the posts with the 'entity-framework' tag related to a given blog
// using a string to specify the relationship
context.Entry(blog)
.Collection("Posts")
.Query()
.Where(p => p.Tags.Contains("entity-framework")
.Load(); //or executed by ToList() method
}
