Trips to the database

var q = from c in db.Customers select new {c.CustomerID, c.Orders};
ObjectDumper.Write(q, 1);

Immediate execution will run the queries in 1 round trip, and return the populated object graph to you in one trip. You can tell DLINQ to use Immediate execution by using the Including operator, which looks something like this:

var q = (from c in db.Customers select new {c.CustomerID, c.Orders}).Including(c => c.Orders);
ObjectDumper.Write(q, 1);

Including() can be nested to force loading the entire graph.

Hope that helps.
