Entityframework 6 - Load Model and its dependencies in Home

Question

I have a college project where I decided to do a blog. Something very simple, author, post and comments. only these three. Well

First I wanted to home of the project he carried the Posts (Articles) of the blog. Got it. Now I want under every post to give a Count in the comments. How can I do this?

Class codes:

public class Post
    {
        public Post()
        {
        }
        [Required]
        public int PostId { get; set; }
        [Required]
        public int AutorId { get; set; }
        [Required]
        public string Titulo { get; set; }
        [Required]
        public string Conteudo { get; set; }
        public virtual Autor Autor { get; set; }
        public virtual ICollection<Comentario> Comentarios { get; set; }
    }

Controller

public class HomeController : Controller
    {
        private DbContexto db = new DbContexto();

        public ActionResult Login()
        {
            return View(new LoginModel());
        }

        [HttpPost]
        public ActionResult Login(LoginModel model)
        {
            //TODO efetuar o login
            return RedirectToAction("Index");
        }

        public ActionResult Index()
        {
            var query = from e in db.Posts 
                        select e;
            var post = query.ToList();
            return View(post);
        }

        public ActionResult About()
        {
            ViewBag.Message = "Your application description page.";

            return View();
        }

        public ActionResult Contact()
        {
            ViewBag.Message = "Your contact page.";

            return View();
        }
    }

Model

@model IEnumerable<WebBlog.Models.Post>

@{
    ViewBag.Title = "Home Page";
}
<style type="text/css">
    body {
        background: #eee;

                <div class="postinfo"><a href="#">**@Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.Comentarios.Count())** Comentarios</a></div>
            </div>
        }
    }
    else
    {
        <div>Não há posts cadastrados</div>

Very simple. Modify your code to the following:

<div class="container">
    @if (this.Model != null && this.Model.Count() > 0)
    {
        foreach (var item in this.Model)
        {
            <div class="jumbotron">
                <div class="post-title">@Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.Titulo)</div>
                <div class="postmeta">Postado em 13/05/2014 | por @Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.Autor.Nome)</div>
                <div class="entry">@Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.Conteudo)</div>
                <div class="postinfo"><a href="#">@item.Comentarios.Count() Comentarios</a></div>
            </div>
        }
    }
    else
    {
        <div>Não há posts cadastrados</div>
    }
</div>
