Using Power Tools I have generated an entity Post which has a Navigation Property TopicId to a Topic entity. Now that also generated PostsAppService with method GetAll, where I can do some filtering of the posts. What I find strange is that in this method I can not filter by TopicId, but TopicTitle - did I made something wrong here? That is strange for me, because in the post entity I can see two properties: public virtual long TopicId and public Topic Topic, so I would expect that I can filter by parent Id, not name. Second question is regarding those properites - why TopicId is virtual and not Topic? I would expect that Post entity should have always filled the TopicId, but Topic only when it is needed.
Thanks! Lukasz

No, you didn't do anything wrong. That is what rad tool generates. You can modify it, if you like.

OK, just wanted to know, if there is a way to generate it automatically with this filtering by id. And regarding that virtual properties - shouldn't that be generated the other way around?
Like: public int TopicId { get; set; } publica virtual Topic Topic { get; set; }
