Entity Framework LINQ Include - Child Entities

Question

I am loading the child entity UserStarted from my TransactionDetails

var result = (from A in context.Transactions.Include(_ => _.TransactionDetails.Select(us => us.UserStarted))
              select A).SingleOrDefault();

Now I want to load another entity, but I don't know how. The entity is similar to UserStarted , it's the UserEnded also from TransactionDetails

Thank you very much

Answer 1

You can chain multiple include predicates together:

var result = context.Transactions
  .Include(transaction => transaction.TransactionDetails.Select(us => us.UserStarted))
  .Include(transaction => transaction.TransactionDetails.Select(us => us.UserEnded))
  .SingleOrDefault();

Answer 2

You can also try

 var result = (from A in context.Transactions.Include(_ => _.TransactionDetails.Select(us => new { UserStarted  = us.UserStarted, UserEnded = us.UserEnded }))
select A).SingleOrDefault();
