Entity Framework - Include multiple level properties

Add another Include call:

entity.TableLevel1.Include(tLvl1=>tLvl1.TableLevel2.Select(tLvl2=>tLvl2.TableLevel3))
                  .Include(tLvl1=>tLvl1.TableLevel2.Select(tLvl2=>tLvl2.AnotherTableLevel3));

If you want to load related entities that are at the same level you should call Include extension method for each of them.


You can make multiple Include() calls:

entity.TableLevel1.Include(t1 => t1.TableLevel2);
entity.TableLevel1.Include(t1 => t1.TableLevel2.Select(t2 => t2.TableLevel3));
entity.TableLevel1.Include(t1 => t1.TableLevel2.Select(t2 => t2.AnotherTableLevel3));

or

entity.TableLevel1.Include("TableLevel2");
entity.TableLevel1.Include("TableLevel2.TableLevel3");
entity.TableLevel1.Include("TableLevel2.AnotherTableLevel3");

But you can mark your navigation properties as virtual and will be lazy loading, so you dont need to make the Include() calls:

class TableLevel1
{
    public virtual TableLevel2 TableLevel2 { get; set; }
}

class TableLevel2
{
    public virtual TableLevel3 TableLevel3 { get; set; }

    public virtual TableLevel3 AnotherTableLevel3 { get; set; }
}
