EF Code First Lazy loading Not Working

Question

I am using code first with EF6 but cannot seem to get lazy loading to work. Eager loading is working fine. I have the following classes:

public class Merchant :          


        

Answer 1

I realized that the problem was that the Merchant class did not meet requirements for proxy generation. Specifically, I needed to add a protected parameterless constructor. I only had a private one.
