navigating entities

EntityDiagrams1 cntxt = new DSTUModel.EntityDiagrams1();

var student = (from s in cntxt.STUDENT_DETAILs where s.STUDENT_ID == "9999999" select s).FirstOrDefault();

string teacherName = student.STUDENT_CLASS_SCHEDULEs[0].SCHOOL_CLASS_SCHEDULE.EMPLOYEE_DETAIL.FIRST_NAME;

So in this case I get a student entity and navigate to the student class schedule entity then to the school class schedule entity and then finally to the empolyee_detail entity.

This works fine.

But if I reference the model in a different project either through an assembly reference or a DataService, the navigation does not work.

So in the above query in can easily retrieve the first entity STUDENT_DETAIL , but when I access the related class property to get the collection of STUDENT_CLASS_SCHEDULEs, this collection is never retrieved.

I can retrieve the collection by doing a join in a linq query, but the dot notaion naviagion does not work.
I have tried setting the LoadBehavior property to Eager, but this has no effect.

I am not sure if I am just not getting something, or if this is by design.

If there is a way to use the dot notation navigation when accessing the model through an external assembly reference, could you point me in the right direction?

Is there some programmatic way I can create the the associations?

Thanks,
