title: Upgrading to Entityframework 6. Load() method not longer available
body: <p>I am upgrading an ASP.Net webapp to Entityframework6.</p>
  
  <p>I have a property on a partial class that previously used the .load() method to lazy load related entities.  The load method is no longer available in EF6 and I would prefer to keep the fact that the related entities loaded state within the class and not have the consuming code worry about the loading.</p>
  
  <pre><code>public partial class Member
  {
      /// &lt;summary&gt;
      /// Has the member got a valid membership renewal
      /// &lt;/summary&gt;
      [ReadOnly(true)]
      public bool CurrentMember
      {
          get
          {
              this.Renewals.Load();     // this is no longer available in EF6
              var query = from renewal in this.Renewals
                          where renewal.Expired == false
                          select renewal;
              return (query.Count() &gt; 0);
          }
      }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How can I keep the existing functionality?</p>
