Hi all,
I have been implementing a new project which I have decided to use the repository pattern and Entity Framework.
I have sucessfuly implemented basic CRUD methods and I have no moved onto my DeepLoads.
From all the examples and documentation I can find to do this I need to call something like this:
public Foo DeepLoadFoo()
{
return (from foobah in Context.Items.Include("bah").Include("foo").Include("foofoo") select foo).Single();
}
This doesnt work for me, maybe I am trying to be too lazy but what I would like to achieve would be something along the lines of this:
public Foo DeepLoadFoo(Foo entity, Type[] childTypes)
{
return (from foobah in Context.Items.Include(childTypes).Single();
}
Is anything like this possible, or am I stuck with include.include.include.include?
Thanks
