How to create nested JSON response with Entity Framework Query - json

Question

I want to get a nested JSON reply with my EF query and not sure how to do this.
I have declared my Models as follows:
[Serializable]
public class StockReturnMethod
{
public int WarehouseID { get; set; }
public int ProductSKUID { get; set; }
public int LotID { get; set; }
public string LotName { get; set; }
public int AreaID { get; set; }
public string AreaName { get; set; }
public int BinID { get; set; }
public string BinName { get; set; }
public List<AvailibleStock> Stock { get; set; }
}
[Serializable]
public class AvailibleStock
{
public int WarehouseID { get; set; }
public int ProductSKUID { get; set; }
public string ProductSKUName { get; set; }
public string WarehouseName { get; set; }
public string Status { get; set; }
public int QtyUnassigned { get; set; }
}
Here is my EF query that I have so far.
{
return (from WH in SCMENT.Warehouses
join WL in SCMENT.WarehouseLots on WH.WarehouseID equals WL.WarehouseID
join WA in SCMENT.WarehouseAreas on WL.WarehouseLotID equals WA.WarehouseLotID
join WB in SCMENT.WarehouseBins on WA.WarehouseAreaID equals WB.WarehouseAreaID
join SLI in SCMENT.StockLineItems on WH.WarehouseID equals SLI.WarehouseID
join PSKU in SCMENT.ProductSKUs on SLI.ProductSKUID equals PSKU.ProductSKUID
where SLI.SystemAreaID == 1
select new StockReturnMethod()
{
WarehouseID = WH.WarehouseID,
LotID = WL.WarehouseLotID,
LotName = WL.WarehouseLotName,
AreaID = WA.WarehouseAreaID,
AreaName = WA.WarehouseAreaName,
BinID = WB.WarehouseBinID,
BinName = WB.WarehouseBinName,
ProductSKUID = PSKU.ProductSKUID,
Stock = (Will I create a sub query here?)
}
)

Answer 1

public List<AvailibleStock> Stock { get; set; }
Change this to:
public IList<AvailibleStock> Stock { get; set; }
Edit: Here's working sample from one of my projects that you can use as reference:
public class StatisticsModel
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public int ClientId { get; set; }
public int Opened { get; set; }
public IEnumerable<LocationsModel> Locations { get; set; }
}
public class LocationModel
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public int OpenCount { get; set; }
}
return dbSet.Select(x => new StatisticsModel
{
Id = x.Id,
ClientId = x.ClientId,
Opened = x.OpenCount,
Locations = x.Locations.Select(z => new LocationsModel{
Id = z.Id,
Name = z.Store.Name,
OpenCount = z.OpenCount
})
})
