asp.net mvc - EF6 Code First MVC Related Entity null -

i have these 2 classes:

public class players {     [key]     public int id { get; set; }     public string playername { get; set; }      public virtual icollection<resultitems> resultitems { get; set; } }  public class resultitems {     [key]     public int id { get; set; }     public int resultsid { get; set; }     public results results { get; set; }     public int position { get; set; }     public int playerid { get; set; }     public players player { get; set; }     public double cash { get; set; }     public int points { get; set; } } 

you'll see here database populating nice enter resultitems:

however, when page loads, , loop through model create table of data, player entity null:

can me understand why isn't loading? appreciated.

thanks,

paul.

you need add virtual keyword public players player or can db.resultitems.include("player").tolist()
