    <p>You should have <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb399198.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">associations</a> between <code>Message</code> and <code>Person</code>. Since the EF designer creates them automatically, you probably already do. However, since they will be generated from foreign keys instead of from column names, the automatically-created associations were probably created with less-than-useful names, like <code>Message.Person1</code> or something. You can select them in the designer and rename them to a more useful name. </p> <p>Let's presume your associations are called <code>Message.FromPerson</code> and <code>Message.ToPerson</code>. You'll then be able to write queries like:</p> <pre><code> var messages = from m in _entities.Message select new BizObjects.Message { MessageId = m.MessageId, From = new BizObjects.Person { PersonId = m.FromPerson.PersonId, PersonName = m.FromPerson.PersonName }, To = new BizObjects.Person { PersonId = m.ToPerson.PersonId, PersonName = m.ToPerson.PersonName }, Subject = m.Subject, Content = m.Content, Read = m.Read, CreatedOn = m.CreatedOn, }; </code></pre> <p>By using the association properties in my LINQ to Entities query, I am causing the Entity Framework to transliterate this reference into a <code>LEFT OUTER JOIN</code> in SQL. </p> <p>This is a very efficient way to load the data (especially in contrast to lazy loading, which causes multiple database queries for far too many columns), since you only select the columns you actually need and it is all done in one query.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
