I have two tables which are in a relationship. They are called tblX and tblY.
var x = (from v in db.tblX select v).First();
Now x has these properties:
x.name
x.id
x.tblY
tblY has these properties: idY, nameY.
After I use the linq statement above, I can get to idY without making a join. I can access x.tblY.idY and x.tblY.nameY. Is it ok if I access them like this? Is it a good programming practise?
tblY’s properties will be loaded lazily. It is fine unless you do this operation repeteadly for big numbers of tblX objects. Than you might consider eager loading.
