Entity framework Explicit Loading multi-level

Question

I tried load multi-level with explicit loading but an error occurred:

"The property path 'Channel.Posts' cannot be used for navigation properties. Property paths can only be used to access primitive or complex properties."

This is my code:

var listSubs;

using (var db = new GamePortalContext())
{
    listSubs = db.Subscribers.Include("Channel").Where(o => o.User.Username == username.ToLower() &&  o.Channel.IsActive && o.Channel.IsPublic && o.Channel.Posts.Count(p => p.PublishTime <= DateTime.Now && p.IsActive && p.IsHot) > 0);
    if (listSubs.Any())
    {
        listSubs = listSubs.OrderByDescending(o => o.Channel.ChannelTrack.LastPublishTime);
        listSubs = (num == int.MinValue) ? listSubs : listSubs.Take(num);
        foreach (var item in listSubs)
        {
            db.Entry(item).Collection(o => o.Channel.Posts).Query().Where(i => i.IsHot && i.IsActive && i.PublishTime <= DateTime.Now).Take(numpost).Load();
        }

        return listSubs.ToList();
    }
    else
    {
        return null;
    }
}

Here is my post and channel entity

public partial class Post

{

  public Post()

  {

       this.ReadPostLaters = new HashSet<ReadPostLater>();

   }
    public string PostId { get; set; }

}

Answer 1

change

db.Entry(item).Collection(o => o.Channel.Posts).Query().Where(i => i.IsHot && i.IsActive && i.PublishTime <= DateTime.Now).Take(numpost).Load();

to

db.Entry(item.Channel).Collection(o => o.Posts).Query().Where(i => i.IsHot && i.IsActive && i.PublishTime <= DateTime.Now).Take(numpost).Load();

Answer 2

Try changing this line:

listSubs = db.Subscribers.Include("Channel").Where(o => o.User.Username == username.ToLower() &&  o.Channel.IsActive && o.Channel.IsPublic && o.Channel.Posts.Count(p => p.PublishTime <= DateTime.Now && p.IsActive && p.IsHot) > 0);

To also call .Include("Channel.Posts"):

listSubs = db.Subscribers.Include("Channel").Include("Channel.Posts") .. etc;
