I have the following DataServiceQuery running agaist an ADO Data Service (with the update installed to make it run like .net 4):

 DataServiceQuery<Account> q = (_gsc.Users
            .Where(c => c.UserId == myId)
            .SelectMany(c => c.ConsumerXref)
            .Select(x => x.Account)
            .Where(a => a.AccountName == "My Account" && a.IsActive)
            .Select(a => a)) as DataServiceQuery<Account>;

When I run it, I get an exception: Cannot specify query options (orderby, where, take, skip) on single resource

As far as I can tell, I need to use a version of "SelectMany" that includes an additonal lambda expression (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb549040.aspx), but I am not able to get this to work correctly.

Could someone show me how to properly structure the "SelectMany" call?

Thank you for any help.
