This post shows you how to Turn off lazy loading for all entities in Entity Framework
public class ApplicationDbContext : DbContext
{
public ApplicationDbContext()
{
this.Configuration.LazyLoadingEnabled = false;
}
}
If you want to do with an explicit call.
var post = context.Posts.Find(1);
// Load the blog related to a given post.
context.Entry(post).Reference(p => p.Blog).Load();
var blog = context.Blogs.Find(1);
// Load the posts related to a given blog.
context.Entry(blog).Collection(p => p.Posts).Load();
