New Post: Not able to get Deep Load working

Hi,

I am definitely having issues with Deep Loading - have spent days on this issue and really struggling to resolve.
The statement I am using is same as above:

  var artist = _artistService.Query(a => a.ArtistID == id).Include(al => al.ArtistLinks).Select().First();

Where I simply want to get all ArtistLinks associated the current artist.

Could I have setup EF incorrectly?
I have ensured:

• Lazy Loading and ProxyCreation is disabled.
  

The SQL being created looks fine:

SELECT

[Project1].[ArtistID] AS [ArtistID], 
[Project1].[ArtistName] AS [ArtistName], 
[Project1].[ArtistNickname] AS [ArtistNickname], 
[Project1].[ArtistTitle] AS [ArtistTitle],

[Project1].[EnableSoundCloudDisplay] AS [EnableSoundCloudDisplay],

    [Extent2].[LinkUrl] AS [LinkUrl], 
    [Extent2].[CreatedDate] AS [CreatedDate1], 
    [Extent2].[CreatedBy] AS [CreatedBy1], 
    [Extent2].[ModifiedDate] AS [ModifiedDate1], 
    [Extent2].[ModifiedBy] AS [ModifiedBy1], 
    CASE WHEN ([Extent2].[ArtistLinkID] IS NULL) THEN CAST(NULL AS int) ELSE 1 END AS [C1]
    FROM  [dbo].[Artists] AS [Extent1]
    LEFT OUTER JOIN [dbo].[ArtistLinks] AS [Extent2] ON [Extent1].[ArtistID] = [Extent2].[ArtistID]
    WHERE ([Extent1].[ArtistID] <> @p__linq__0) AND ([Extent1].[IsFeatured] = 1)
)  AS [Project1]
ORDER BY [Project1].[IsFeatured] DESC, [Project1].[CreatedDate] DESC, [Project1].[ArtistID] ASC, [Project1].[C1] ASC

-- p__linq__0: '2' (Type = Int32, IsNullable = false)



Really at a loss as to why I cannot get the artist object to deep load the links.

Thanks for your time.
