I am using Entity Framework and have the following classes

```
class Student
{
 [Key]
 public virtual int StudentID {get; set;}
 public virtual string StudentName {get; set;}
 public virtual ICollection<Note> Notes {get; set;}
}
class Note
{
 [Key]
 public virtual int NoteID {get; set;}
 public virtual int StudentID {get; set;}
 public virtual string Message {get; set;}
}
class StudentDBContext:DbContext
{
 public DbSet<Student> Students { get; set; }
 public DbSet<Note> Notes { get; set; }
}

```

So to summarize, I have a class of students who can each have many notes. Now, I want to use Linq to retrieve and display all the notes for a particular student. So I try

```
using (StudentDBContext a = new StudentDBContext())
{
 var b = from c in a.Student
         where c.StudentID == 1001
         select c;

 var currStudent = b.FirstOrDefault();
 Console.WriteLine(currStudent.StudentName);

  //display all the messages of the current student
  foreach (var currNote in currStudent.Notes)
  Console.WriteLine(currNote.Message);
}

```

In the above code, my foreach block always fails because Student.Notes is always null. Am I missing some step in initializing Student.Notes and populating it from the database?
