Clarify eager loading of multiple levels using a single .Include() #1856

Open samcarton opened 5 years ago

samcarton commented 5 years ago

Clarify the cases in which you can include multiple levels of related entities using a single include statement. In the Blogs example, instead of using .ThenInclude to include the Author's photo object you can go Blogs.Include(blog => blog.Author.Photo);. Specify that this can only be used to navigate through non-collection properties, if that is indeed the case.

If you can write it to compile, you can do it.
