How can I lazy load an association (EntitySet) in LINQ to SQL? You can't set Delay Loaded on Associations in the designer, and I couldn't find a DBML attribute for it either. I looked at DataLoadOptions to see if there was a way to lazy load them that way, but DataLoadOptions really just provides a way to mold the SQL that is generated f...
