Filtering include items in LINQ and Entity Framework [duplicate]

by

While you cannot filter a collection included via Include, you can use Select and project that collection into a filtered collection.

var rootCategoryItem = DatabaseContext.Categories
    .OrderBy(c => c.CategoryOrder)
    .Select(c => new Category()
    {
        SubCategories = c.SubCategories.Where(sub => !sub.Deleted)
            .OrderBy(sub => sub.CategoryOrder),
        c.CategoryId,
        c.CategoryName,
        //include any other fields needed here
    })
    .Single(c => c.CategoryId == 1);
