Question

If I have a table with a primary key (AccLinkID) and a foreign key (aspnet_Users UserID), how can I select the object that the foreign key points to using Linq to Entities.

User myUser = _myDB.AccLinkSet.Where(user => user.LinkID == linkId).FirstOrDefault().aspnet_Users;

did not work…

anyone have any ideas?

Try this:

User myUser = _myDB.AccLinkSet.Include("aspnet_Users")
    .Where(user => user.LinkID == linkId).FirstOrDefault().aspnet_Users;
