How to display and update data in datagrid from multiple tables using EF and WPF?

Question

I have following database schema.

Problem:I would like to retrieve data from multiple tables and display/edit it in a datagrid.

Description: I would like to get relevant data from all other tables using foreign key and display it to grid. For example there Delivery.TransporterID, now i want Transporter.TransporterName which can be navigated via TransporterID foreign key and display it along with delivery columns, same needs to be done with other foreign keys.

So user can view data and edit using the same datagrid. How to achieve this using C#,WPF database first and VS2012?
