Question

As the title suggest I am looking for a way to do a where clause in combination with an include.

Here is my situations: I am responsible for the support of a large a

Answer 1

In my case the Include was an ICollection, and also did not want to return them, I just needed to get the main entities but filtered by the referenced entity. (in other words, Included entity), what I ended up doing is this. This will return list of Initiatives but filtered by InitiativeYears

return await _context.Initiatives
                .Where(x => x.InitiativeYears
                    .Any(y => y.Year == 2020 && y.InitiativeId == x.Id))
                .ToListAsync();

Here the Initiatives and the InitiativeYears has following relationship.

public class Initiative
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public ICollection InitiativeYears { get; set; }
}

public class InitiativeYear
{
    public int Year { get; set; }
    public int InitiativeId { get; set; }
    public Initiative Initiative { get; set; }
}
