LiNQ to Entities, Include less
- by Freddy
Hi,
If you are making a LinQ to entities expression for ClassA where A has a relation to ClassB like this:
var temp = from p in myEntities.ClassA.Include("ClassB")
where ...
select p;
You will get a set of ClassA:s with the reference to ClassB loaded. The thing in my case is that I dont really need to load ALL the ClassB-references, just a few of them. But I dont want to loop through the list of ClassA:s and load them individually, i want my database operations to be fewer and bigger instead of reading small chunks here and there.
Is it possible to put some kind of restrictions on which references to include or do you have to accept this all or nothing style?
