Remarks
Use the LoadWith method to specify which data related to your main target should be retrieved at the same time. For example, if you know you will need information about customers' orders, you can use LoadWith to make sure the order information is retrieved at the same time as the customer information. This approach results in only one trip to the database for both sets of information.
The following snippet shows how to use the non-generic method:
DataLoadOptions options = new DataLoadOptions();
db.LoadOptions = options;
options.LoadWith((Customer c) => c.Orders);
