Retrieving child records in Entity Framework code First

Question

I have a Generic Repository which has all the common operations. I have two tables Customer and Address. Address is referenced in Customer

public IEnumerable<TEntity> GetAll() { return context.Set<TEntity>(); }

Below is my repository

Repository<Customer> customerRepostitory = new Repository<Customer>(); var cusotomerList = customerRepostitory.GetAll();

The above line just returning the customer list, its not including Address Details. Can you suggest the best way to retrieve the child records when i call parent records.

can we see the Customer type declaration ? (probalby a virtual missing below the adresses) — tschmit

If it was the virtual, you just discover lazy loading, one of the way to handle child records. You should read about the other ways/strategiess : eager loading and explicit loading to discover which one is/are the best for your cases.
