Hi,

How to use Pathfor in this case :  Cutomers -> Orders -> OrderDetail. 

Customers.Include(Customer.PathFor(c => c.Orders.OrderDetail))

the problem is I can't access OrderDetail from the RelatedEntityList Orders, the property OrderDetail isn't available.

Note : I am using Code First, since PathFor isn't available in the Codefirst's entities I added your implementation in my base class

Hi Walid,


the use of strongly typed includes either with a PathFor or a Lambda expression is only applicable for simple property paths. The path that you're proposing is not considered "simple" since, just like you said, you can't access a scalar navigation property from a RelatedEntityList navigation property.
