Is there anyway to make EF navigational properties unidirectional?
In the example below, I would like to remove “Customers” property from the “Orders” table.
Driver behind this is the “circular reference” error I am receiving with Telerik Grid (which tries to serialize my object for Ajax Binding).

I’ve also run into this. Telerik has an article describing the problem and the solution http://blogs.telerik.com/blogs/posts/10-01-25/resolving_circular_references_when_binding_the_mvc_grid.aspx
Basically instead of deleting the property, as @Akhil suggests, you set it to Private which feels a little less destructive.
