title: Confused about navigational property/reference in Entity Framework
body: <p>I'm trying to learn Entity Framework and I'm confused about navigational properties. I have a table named tblUser. It has a column named ManagerId which is has a self referencing foreign key to the UserId column. I've added this table to my EF model and I now have three "links" in my table entity properties:</p>
  
  <p>tblUser1 (type: EntityCollection&lt;tblUser&gt;)<br>
  tblUser2 (type: tblUser)<br>
  tblUser2Reference (type: EntityReference&lt;tblUser&gt;)</p>
  
  <p>I'm confused about for what these are used for. I want to get the manager's name for a user, which one of these should I use and how?</p>
