Ladislav Mrnka's advice to use Include
I am trying to use Ladislav Mrnka's advice here to use:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Linq.Expressions;
using System.Data.Entity;
namespace SimTask.Data.EF4
{
public static class Extensions
{
public static IQueryable<T> IncludeMultiple<T>(this IQueryable<T> query,
params Expression<Func<T, object>>[] includes)
where T : class
{
if (includes != null)
{
query = includes.Aggregate(query,
(current, include) => current.Include(include));
}
return query;
}
}
}
But I get an error. The compiler doesn't recognize current.Include
:
Error 7 'System.Linq.IQueryable<T>' does not contain a definition for 'Include' and no extension method 'Include' accepting a first argument of type 'System.Linq.IQueryable<T>' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) C:\MySolution\MyProj.Data.EF4\Extensions.cs 19 57 MyProj.Data.EF4

I installed the ADO.NET Entity Framework 4.1 from here.
Two things:
1) You need a reference (and using
) to System.Data.Entity
, that is where Include
is defined:
using System.Data.Entity;
2) Your class should be marked public
and static
, otherwise you cant put an extension method in it:
public static class Extensions
{
Edit:
You also need to include EntityFramework in your project - if you expand references in your project you should see EntityFramework
.
The easiest way to add it is via Nuget:
1.) Open the Package Manager Console (View | Other Windows | Package Manager Console)
2.) Type Install-Package EntityFramework
