EF 6 - Include Why Do I not have linq choice?

Question

I am a bit confused on why I don't get linq.

context.Users.Include(x => x.Roles)

I can't do this I have to do context.Users.Include("Roles")

Seems like other people can do it.

Do I need to import something? Has something changed in EF 6(rc1)?

Have you add using System.Linq? – Rikard Oct 18 '13 at 22:47 — Rikard, Oct 18 '13 at 22:47

If you're using DbContext, the correct namespace to import is:

using System.Data.Entity;

This is the namespace that contains DbExtensions that provides the type-safe versions of the .Include method.
