I read in the doc that Adapter scenario does not support LazyLoading. Although, I understand the idea behind it (distributed systems...), I don't understand why we, as users, don't have the option to choose when to use lazy loading and when prefetch paths in the Adapter scenario, as we have in the self servicing. Thanks!

Lazy loading can be easily implemented in code. Just skip the prefetch paths and fetch related entities when you want. Thus giving you better control over the application behaviour.

To elaborate a bit more: adding lazy loading also breaks rules like 'GUI code should always consult BL code for data - access'. Adapter is developed to prevent GUI developers (for example, other scenario's are possible) to take shortcuts for example and use lazy loading instead of teh BL code.

How do you merge code in distributed scenario? For example, let's say that I have a customerentity instance and I want to fetch its orders. I will ask BL to fetch the orderentitycollection via serialization/deserialization. Now, how am I going to attach the fetched collection to customerentity?

customer.Orders.DoNotAddIfPresent =false; customer.Orders.AddRange(readCollectionFromServer);

This also sets every order's Customer reference to the customer object holding the Orders collection.

I know I know . Sometimes I miss a few typo's
