How to implement guide with ef core 6 lazy loading - getting 'the navigation property how to be lazy loaded' scenarios
I'm wondering if anyone has experience with I'm working on a project and hit a roadblock... I'm stuck on something that should probably be simple. I'm working with an scenario while trying to implement lazy loading in my ASP.NET Core 6 application using Entity Framework Core 6. I have two entities, `Blog` and `Post`, where a `Blog` can have many `Posts`. My navigation properties are set up like this: ```csharp public class Blog { public int BlogId { get; set; } public string Name { get; set; } public virtual ICollection<Post> Posts { get; set; } } public class Post { public int PostId { get; set; } public string Title { get; set; } public int BlogId { get; set; } public virtual Blog Blog { get; set; } } ``` I have also enabled lazy loading in my `DbContext`: ```csharp protected override void OnModelCreating(ModelBuilder modelBuilder) { modelBuilder.Entity<Blog>().Navigation(b => b.Posts).UseLazyLoadingProxies(); } ``` However, when I try to access the `Posts` collection of a `Blog` instance like this: ```csharp var blog = await _context.Blogs.FindAsync(blogId); var posts = blog.Posts; ``` I get the following behavior message: `The navigation property 'Posts' want to be lazy loaded because it is not virtual or not marked with the 'virtual' keyword.` I've confirmed that the navigation properties are marked as virtual. I've also verified that my project has the necessary package for lazy loading proxies: ```xml <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Proxies" Version="6.0.0" /> ``` I've tried cleaning and rebuilding my solution, but the behavior continues. Is there something I might be missing in my configuration to enable lazy loading correctly? What's the best practice here? Is there a better approach? This is happening in both development and production on Debian. I appreciate any insights!
