Question

How to fetch data with EF on one to many relationship.
i.e if i have a table name Person(personID as primary key) and another table name streetLivedIn(personID as foreign key).
Now i force my controller method to pass an object of type person

var persons=db.persons();
return View(persons);

Now i want to display Person details along with street(i.e that what stored at streetLivedInTable) he/she lived at.
suppose i have an Entityset of person

public class Persons
{
   public string Name{get;set;}
   //NAVIGATIONL PROP. 
   public virtual ICollection<streetLivedIn>{get;set}
}

Answer 1

Suppose the navigational property name is Streets.

public class Persons
{
   public string Name { get; set; }
   //NAVIGATIONL PROP. 
   public virtual ICollection<streetLivedIn> Streets { get; set }
}

Then you can use the Include method to eager load this property.

var persons = db.persons.Include("Streets");
return View(persons);

You can display this in various ways. Eg

@foreach (var person in Model)
{
     <div>@person.Name</div>

         @foreach (var street in person.Streets)
         {
               <div>@street.Name</div>
         }
}

Or you can use the WebGrid, MvcContrib Grid, etc
