c# - How to list joined entity property instead of full entity in Entity Framework? -

i have 2 tables in sql database named computer , department in have 1-to-many relationship through table named departamentcomputer (pk computerid).

i trying list computers respective department name on datagridview when comes department on datagridview shows entity instead of name of department this: datagridview row

these methods required computers generic repository:

    public task<list<tentity>> getallasync()     {         return context.set<tentity>().tolistasync();       }      public async task<ienumerable<computadora>> listarasync()     {         return await _unitofwork.computadora.getallasync();     } 

and these methods populate datagridview

    private async void listarcomputadoras()     {         var lista = await listarasync();         popular(lista);     }      public void popular(ienumerable<computadora> computadoras)     {         var bs = new bindingsource() {datasource = computadoras.tolist()};         dgvdatos.datasource = bs;     } 

how can select property name of table department , show on datagridview instead of showing name of entity?

thank you!

edit: forgot mention. want avoid use of anonymous types because have more logic depends on list of computers , anonymous types logic break.

try this

public void popular(ienumerable<computadora> computadoras) {   var data = (from c in computadoras                  select new {                           codigointerno = c.codigointerno,                           departamento = c.departamento.name, // if department entity has name property.                          // assign properties shown in grid                           }).tolist();      var bs = new bindingsource() {datasource = data};     dgvdatos.datasource = bs; } 

if don't use anonymous type, create class required properties , use follows.

public void popular(ienumerable<computadora> computadoras) {           var data = (from c in computadoras                      select new computer{                                       codigointerno = c.codigointerno,                                       departamento = c.departamento.name, //if department entity has name property.                                      // assign properties shown in grid                                  }).tolist();              var bs = new bindingsource() {datasource = data};             dgvdatos.datasource = bs; }  public class computer {     public string codigointerno {get;set;}     public string departamento {get;set;}     //add properties here }
