Is this possible?
var results = (from c in _context.properties
where c.strap == somevalue
select c).include("characteristics).where(characteristics.cat_cd != 'DD');
essentially I want to create this query. I will be include(ing) other tables as the app grows.
select * from properties p,characteristics c
where
p.strap = c.strap
and c.cat_cd <> 'DD'
