I never knew about DataLoadOptions(). I’ll look into it and use it on my next project. It’s great that it has a function to do this… all this time I’ve been using this workaround as I thought there wasn’t anything provided to achieve the same results.

Good stuff

Dan,

var options = new DataLoadOptions();
options.LoadWith(x => x.City);
options.LoadWith(x => x.PersonName);
db.LoadOptions = options;

If you don’t want to configure eager loading for all the lifetime of your DataContext, you could do this:

db.Select(x => new { Person = x, City = x.City, Name = x.PersonName }).ToList().Select(x => x.Person);

Since it loads City and PersonName for each Person, it solved all the stuff with one single query.
