Trouble with Lazy Loading in Entity Framework Core 6: Navigation Property Not Loading
I'm prototyping a solution and I've been working with Entity Framework Core 6 and trying to implement lazy loading for my navigation properties, but I'm encountering an issue where the related entities are not being loaded as expected. I've set up my `DbContext` with the necessary configurations, and my models are correctly defined with virtual navigation properties. However, when I access a navigation property, it returns `null` instead of loading the related data. I've followed these steps: 1. Installed the `Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Proxies` package. 2. Configured my `DbContext` like this: ```csharp services.AddDbContext<MyContext>(options => options.UseLazyLoadingProxies() .UseSqlServer(Configuration.GetConnectionString("DefaultConnection"))); ``` 3. Defined my entities as follows: ```csharp public class Order { public int Id { get; set; } public virtual Customer Customer { get; set; } } public class Customer { public int Id { get; set; } public virtual ICollection<Order> Orders { get; set; } } ``` 4. When I try to access the `Customer` navigation property of an `Order` like this: ```csharp using (var context = new MyContext()) { var order = context.Orders.First(); var customer = order.Customer; // customer is null here } ``` Despite everything seeming correct, the navigation properties are not loading lazily. I’ve also checked that my `DbContext` is being used correctly and that the database has the expected data. Am I missing something in the configuration, or is there something else I should be looking into? Any insights or guidance would be greatly appreciated! Any feedback is welcome! For context: I'm using C# on Linux. Any ideas how to fix this?
