C# Entity Framework 4.1 Lambda Include - only select specific included values

Question

I\'m doing a lambda select on EF4.1, including another related DBSet in my current statement.

 return dbEntity.GameTypes.Include(a => a.Draws)
                        


        

Answer 1

I think....

    from g in dbEntity.GameTypes.Include("Draws")
   where g.IsActive
     let d = g.Draws.Where(o => o.DrawDate > System.DateTime.Now)
                    .OrderBy(o => o.DrawDate)
                    .Take(1)       // Needs to stay a collection
  select new GameType {IsActive = g.IsActive, Draws = d}

untested - but it might get you on the right path...
