Expression does not work in Include in Entity Framework

I tried to make the following expression

var listag = db.grupo.Include(x => x.Itens).ToList();

It doesn’t work that way, but if I pass that way:

db.grupo.Include("Itens").ToList();, So it works, why? What am I doing wrong?

Don’t compile that way

Error 5 Cannot Convert lambda Expression to type 'string' because it is not a delegate type

It worked well using System.Data.Entity, thank you =)

The implementation of Include() using a delegate type is in the namespace System.Data.Entity for the Entity Framework case, or System.Linq, if you were using Linq, which is not your case.

As pointed out by @Tiagosilva in comment, check out the header of Controller whether it has the following statements:

using System.Data;
using System.Data.Entity;
