Question
I have two tables with a one (Articles) to many (Details) relationship. Details may not contain any data for the particular Article entry.
Articles: Id, Title, Numb (PK), Name
Details: Id (PK), Person, Numb (FK), Name
In the Entity Framework, there are the appropriate Navigation properties and it shows the correct One:Many relationship.
What I want to do is get all Articles that match the end user's query (by 'Name') as well as all, if any, data from the Details table (Id, Person, Numb, Name).
What I'm stuck on is right now I can query Articles just fine (var article = db.Articles.Where(b => b.Name.Equals(name));), but while the result does include a HashSet for Details.Numb on each row of Articles, there is no data in that HashSet. There are appropriate corresponding entries in the database for Article.Numb => Details.Numb.

Actually there is two ways to achieve this.
- Enable Lazy Loading.
- Call
Includemethod as other answers says.
Using Lazy Loading see msdn article for more detail.
db.ContextOptions.LazyLoadingEnabled = true;
Using Include method
var article = db.db.Articles.Include("Details").Where(b => b.Name.Equals(name))).FirstOrDefault();
