Can't bind child collection in silverlight

Question

I have a pretty simple setup that I cannot get to work in silverlight. I have an order with a collection of OrderPayments. These objects are part of a Entity Framework model and are exposed through WCF RIA Services. I can bind perfectly fine to any basic property on the Order class, but I wanted to bind to a listbox to show the OrderPayments. Here's the XAML for the ListBox.

<ListBox ItemsSource="{Binding Data.OrderPayments, ElementName=orderDataSource}"></ListBox>

Nothing ever appears in the listbox and there is at least one OrderPayment for the order displayed. orderDataSource is a DomainDataSource that contains the Order. The odd thing about this is that I don't receive any binding errors and when I bind to a TextBlock using the following code:

<TextBlock Text="{Binding Data.OrderPayments, ElementName=orderDataSource}" />

The text 'OrderPayment' is outputted to the screen. Is there something different I have to do to get Silverlight to actually pick up the reference to the object?

Entire XAML below:

<riaControls:DomainDataSource AutoLoad="True" Name="orderDataSource" QueryName="GetOrder">
        <riaControls:DomainDataSource.QueryParameters>
            <riaControls:Parameter ParameterName="orderid" Value="1" />
        </riaControls:DomainDataSource.QueryParameters>
        <riaControls:DomainDataSource.DomainContext>
            <ds:CEWCPSDomainContext />
        </riaControls:DomainDataSource.DomainContext>
    </riaControls:DomainDataSource>

    <StackPanel Orientation="Vertical" Margin="12">
        <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
            <Button Width="100" Height="50" Content="Save &amp; Return" Margin="0,0,12,12" />
            <Button Width="100" Height="50" Content="Orders" Margin="0,0,12,12" />
            <Button Width="100" Height="50" Content="Emails" Margin="0,0,12,12" />
        </StackPanel>

        <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">

Answer 1

WCF RIA Services does not include child entities by default. I needed to put [Include()] on the OrderPayments property of the Order object. Works like a charm now.
