<h5 id="C1_Data_Entities_EntityFrameworkExtensions_AsLive__1_System_Collections_Generic_ICollection___0__C1_Data_Entities_EntityClientScope__remarks">Remarks</h5>
<div class="markdown level1 remarks"><p>When POCO objects are used (with proxies), navigation collection properties are typed
as <a class="xref" href="https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.collections.generic.icollection-1">ICollection&lt;T&gt;</a>, not <span class="xref">System.Data.Entity.Core.Objects.DataClasses.EntityCollection&lt;&gt;</span> (although they are <span class="xref">System.Data.Entity.Core.Objects.DataClasses.EntityCollection&lt;&gt;</span> at run time).
That is why a special AsLive extension method must be used.</p>
