How to eager load sibling data using LINQ to SQL?

What you have should be correct, you need to add this dataContext. DeferredLoadingEnabled = false in addition to the LoadOptions you are already setting.

Should result in a single exists query, so it will end up being two queries.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
