Hi,

I am using entity lamda expression to retrieve the data.
Now my one table has other 5 child entities.

What I have tried:

I am using .Include to retrive child entity data.

Can any one please help me is that possible?

The best option I have found is to use a ViewModel.
A ViewModel can be used to specify a subset of the table fields and can be populated from your controller
