Calling this method invokes a network operation to fetch the property value. The property specified may be any one of the properties on the entity, including properties that represent associations or links.
If the property represents an association, link or deferred property, calling this method provides the client a way to lazily load related resources.
If the entity is in the unchanged or modified state, the property value loads the related entities and marks them unchanged with unchanged links
If the property is already loaded, calling this method lets you refresh the value of the property.
The following example shows how to explicitly load the Customers object that is related to each returned Orders instance. This example uses the DataServiceContext generated by the Add Service Reference tool based on the Northwind data service, which is created when you complete the WCF Data Services .
