Specifies the set of properties to retrieve from the database together with the accessed property if it is not yet loaded up.

or

property

A persistent property that is mapped using one of the field mappings.

view

A view within the type.

property-to-load

A persistent property of type.

Remarks

<LoadAlso> element specifies the set of properties to retrieve from the database together with the property if property is accessed but not loaded up yet. The property set can be specified as the union of one or more view or property-to-load.

Not specifying the <LoadAlso> element for a property is equivalent to specifying the full view, i.e. all properties are loaded up.

The properties default view is always implicitly added to the specified property set, therefore specifying the default in the <LoadAlso> element can only be used to change the default behaviour.

Regardless of the specified property set, properties that are already loaded up to the Context are not queried again.
