从继承的类加载导航属性

我希望获得所有联系人实体(包括人员 - >员工)

Contact
|<- Person
|   |-> Employer
|
|<- Organization 
|   |-> Employees

个人和组织继承自联系。

当我使用FirstOrDefault时,我的员工和雇主实体未被加载。

public Contact GetContactById(int id)
{
    var contact = GetContacts().FirstOrDefault(c => c.Id == id);
    return contact;
}

private IQueryable<Contact> GetContacts()
{
    var contacts = _contextProvider.Context.Contacts
        .Include("Addresses");

    return contacts;
}

这是我目前的解决方法:

public Contact GetContactById(int id)
{
    var contact = GetContacts().FirstOrDefault(c => c.Id == id);
    if (contact is Organization)
    {
        var organization = contact as Organization;
        _contextProvider.Context.Entry(organization).Collection(o => o.Employees).Load();
    }
    else if (contact is Person)
    {
        var person = contact as Person;
        _contextProvider.Context.Entry(person).Reference(o => o.Employer).Load();
    }
    return contact;
}

有没有更好的方法来解决这个问题?

我无法对此进行测试,但正确的推动可能是

private IQueryable<Contact> GetContacts()
{
    var people = _contextProvider.Context.Contacts
        .OfType<Person>()
        .Include("Employer");

    var organizations = _contextProvider.Context.Contacts
        .OfType<Organization>()
        .Include("Employees");

    return people.Concat<Contact>(organizations);
}
