I recently used the following code
var errorCount =
split.Profiles.SelectMany(p => p.Logs)
.Count(l => l.LogTypeId == (int)LogType.Error);
errorCount returned zero because I forgot to include my logs table when I built the split entity.
How can I detect whether the split.Profiles.Logs collection has been eager loaded?
I am using Model First.
the class for Profile is
public partial class Profile
{
public Profile()
{
this.Log = new HashSet<Log>();
}
public int ProfileId { get; set; }
public int SplitId { get; set; }
public string Filename { get; set; }
public System.DateTime StartTime { get; set; }
public System.DateTime EndTime { get; set; }
public virtual ICollection<Log> Log { get; set; }
public virtual SplitUpload SplitUpload { get; set; }
}
#Hopeless you pointed me in the right direct. First I had to check the first collection was loaded. Then I needed to check that if it had any members then their child collection was also loaded

I have SQLite db and these EF models and context.
Models and Context
public class CardHolder
{
public int CardHolderId { get; set; }
public string FirstName { get; set; }
public string LastName { get; set; }
public string PhoneNumber { get; set; }
public string EmailAddress { get; set; }
public string TenantName { get; set; }
public ICollection<AccessCard> AccessCards { get; set; }
}
public class AccessCard
{
public int AccessCardId { get; protected set; }
public CardHolder CardHolder { get; set; }
public DateTime ActivationDate { get; protected set; }
public bool ActivationProcessed { get; set; }
public DateTime? DeactivationDate { get; protected set; }
public string DeactivationReason { get; set; }
public bool DeactivationProcessed { get; set; }
}
public class MyContext : DbContext
{
public DbSet<CardHolder> CardHolders { get; set; }
public DbSet<AccessCard> AccessCards { get; set; }
}
And the Main program
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
using (var db = new MyContext())
{
var cardHolders = db.CardHolders.Include("AccessCard").ToList();
}
}
}
Question1: Why do I get this exception
System.InvalidOperationException: 'A specified Include path is not
valid. The EntityType 'SQLiteDemo.Models.CardHolder' does not declare
a navigation property with the name 'AccessCard'.'
If I replace it with
var cardHolders = db.CardHolders.Include("AccessCards").ToList();
I get another error:
SQL logic error no such column: Extent2.CardHolder_CardHolderId
What is wrong with Entity Framework?
Question2: Why cant I use arrow function in Include statement, it doesnt compile at all?
var cardHolders = db.CardHolders.Include(x => x.AccessCards).ToList();
Question3: Why do I need to use Include at all if my ICollection association property AccessCards is NOT virtual - that means eager loading must work by itself!
Why the hell it is so problematic and buggy? Nothing works as it should :(
1 - You have a typo as you have already determined :)
1B - "SQL logic error no such column: Extent2.CardHolder_CardHolderId"
EF isn't finding your FK. You could add it to your AccessCard model:
public int CardHolderId { get; set; }
2 - You need to pull in the LINQ extensions. Make sure you have both of these using statements at the top:
using System.Data.Entity;
using System.Linq;
3 - You, like many others, are misunderstanding lazy loading. Eager loading still requires an Include() to fetch related data. Lazy loading only fetches the relations when you access them.
This the table structure I have:
#region Tables
public class WorkoutProfile
{
public WorkoutProfile()
{
WorkoutExercises = new List<WorkoutExercise>();
}
[Key]
public int ProfileId { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public int Sets { get; set; }
public int RestAfterSetInSeconds { get; set; }
public virtual User User { get; set; }
public virtual ICollection<WorkoutExercise> WorkoutExercises { get; set; }
}
public class WorkoutExercise
{
[Key]
public int WorkoutId { get; set; }
public virtual Exercise Exercise { get; set; }
public int Order { get; set; }
public int WorkoutTimeInSeconds { get; set; }
public int RestAfterInSeconds { get; set; }
}
public class Exercise
{
[Key]
public long ExerciseId { get; set; }
public string Title { get; set; }
public string Visualisation { get; set; }
public bool IsDefault { get; set; } // Is exersice should be included when user first registers
}
public class User
{
[Key]
public long UserId { get; set; }
public string Email { get; set; }
public DateTime Registered { get; set; }
}
#endregion Tables
In the repository class I run the following linq query:
return context
.WorkoutProfiles.Include(w => w.WorkoutExercises)
.Where(q => q.User.UserId == userId && q.ProfileId == profileId)
.FirstOrDefault();
and I receive the good and old "Object reference not set to an instance of an object". When examining the result, see that Exercises property in WorkoutExercises is null.
This is how the database is created using code first approach:
So, the question is: why Exercises not included in WorkoutExercises object? Do I need to include it somehow? I am using .NET Core 2
The simple answer would be no lazy loading in EFCore. Not Released yet but if you want to dabble with alpha code, its in the repository. Based on your classes there are no collections for exercises in WorkoutExcercise.
Then you need to ThenInclude(w => w.Exercises) following your Include clause since EFCore doesn't do lazy loading.
I found a solution following this post
Altered my code as following:
var top = context
.Set<WorkoutProfile>()
.Where(q => q.ProfileId == profileId && q.User.UserId == userId)
.Include(q => q.WorkoutExercises)
.SingleOrDefault();
context
.Entry(top)
.Collection(e => e.WorkoutExercises)
.Query()
.OfType<WorkoutExercise>()
.Include(e => e.Exercise)
.Load();
And it worked
Been stuck on this for a while so i thought i would ask. I am sure there is something simple i am missing here. Trying to learn Asp.net mvc 4 on my own by building a simple app.
Here is the model:
public class Category
{
public int Id { get; set; }
[Required]
[StringLength(32)]
public string Name { get; set; }
//public virtual ICollection<Note> Notes { get; set; }
private ICollection<Note> notes;
public ICollection<Note> Notes
{
get
{
return this.notes ?? (this.notes = new List<Note>());
}
}
}
public class Note
{
public int Id { get; set; }
[Required]
public string Content { get; set; }
[Required]
[StringLength(128)]
public string Topic { get; set; }
public int CategoryId { get; set; }
public virtual Category Category { get; set; }
public virtual IEnumerable<Comment> Comments { get; set; }
public virtual ICollection<Tag> Tags {get; set;}
public Note()
{
Tags = new HashSet<Tag>();
}
}
public class Tag
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public virtual ICollection<Note> Notes { get; set; }
public Tag()
{
Notes = new HashSet<Note>();
}
}
I call this method in a repository from the controller:
public IQueryable<Note> GetAll()
{
var query = _db.Notes.Include(x => x.Category).Include(y => y.Tags);
return query;
}
On the home controller i am trying to return a list of all the notes and wanted to include the category name that it belongs to as well as the tags that go with the note. At first the did not show up so i read some tutorials about eager loading and figured out how to get them to show.
However, my method is not that efficient. The mini-profiler is barking at me for duplicate queries because the navigation properties for category and tags are sending queries for the notes again. IS there any way to just return the properties i need for the category and tag objects?
I have tried several methods with no luck. I was hoping i could do something like this:
var query = _db.Notes.Include(x => x.Category.Name).Include(y => y.Tags.Name);
But i get an error: Cannot convert lambda expression to type 'string' because it is not a delegate type
I have seen that error before that was caused by some missing using statements so i already double checked that.
Any suggestions? Thanks for the help
in EF Database First when change ForeignKey(CommodityGroupID) automatic Get CommodityGroup for Commodity object, But in EF Code First(4.3.1) not doing.
public class Commodity
{
public int CommodityID { get; set; }
public string MadeBy { get; set; }
public decimal ServiceTimePrice { get; set; }
public decimal QCPrice { get; set; }
public int ServicePoint { get; set; }
public string Note { get; set; }
public int CommodityGroupID { get; set; }
[ForeignKey("CommodityGroupID")]
public virtual CommodityGroup CommodityGroup { get; set; }
}
public class CommodityGroup
{
public int CommodityGroupID { get; set; }
public string CommodityGroupName { get; set; }
public virtual ICollection<Commodity> Commodities { get; set; }
}
this Property defined in Edmx file (database first), i Should define this code in ef code first?
[BrowsableAttribute(false)]
[DataMemberAttribute()]
public EntityReference<CommodityGroup> CommodityGroupReference
{
get
{
return ((IEntityWithRelationships)this).RelationshipManager.GetRelatedReference<CommodityGroup>("GaamRepairModel.FK_Commodity_CommodityGroup", "CommodityGroup");
}
set
{
if ((value != null))
{
((IEntityWithRelationships)this).RelationshipManager.InitializeRelatedReference<CommodityGroup>("GaamRepairModel.FK_Commodity_CommodityGroup", "CommodityGroup", value);
}
}
}
It sounds like you're wanting a change tracking proxy. You want the CommodityGroup navigation property to update automatically when the FK is changed correct?
See this post on MSDN for details about the change tracking proxy.
This post on MSDN shows some code on how to test of your proxy object is being created properly.
Is this a new object? If so, you'll need to call the CreateObject function on your DbSet, not use the New Commodity().
Sample class structure
class Order
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public DateTime Date { get; set; }
public List<OrderDetail> Details { get; set; }
}
class OrderDetail
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public int Qty { get; set; }
public Item Item { get; set; }
}
class Item
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
}
class ElectronicItem : Item
{
public MoreDetail Detail { get; set; }
}
class MoreDetail
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string SomeData { get; set; }
}
In order to populate order object with all navigational properties, I wrote
context.Orders.Include("Details").Include("Details.Item")
I also want to load MoreDetail object, hence I tried
context.Orders.Include("Details").Include("Details.Item.Detail")
It didn't work. How to load complete Order object?
It is currently not possible but it is feature requested by community on User DataVoice as you already found. There is also related bug on MS Connect.
You simply cannot eager load navigation properties of derived types but you can load them with separate query:
var moreDetails = context.MoreDetails;
EF should automatically fix your navigation properties. If you use filtering on orders in your original query you must apply that filter in more details query as well:
var moreDetails = cotnext.MoreDetials.Where(m => m.Item.Order ....);
