Hi,

I am using Lazy Loading to fill up a collection of an object. I have Exam class which has a IList of Questions. Now, I want that when I retrieve the Exam by Id I should get all the Questions of that exam. I can get this to work by simply iterating through the collection but it is not a good technique.

I can use the following approach to get all the questions of the exam.

using (ISession session = sessionFactory.OpenSession())
{
exam = session.Get<Exam>(id);

foreach(Question q in exam.Questions) { }
}

I just need to iterate over the questions and then it will be populated. How can I make it better since the above code does not make any sense?

Off course, I can say <bag name="Questions" lazy="false" but then what if I want to retrieve 100 Exams but I don't want to retrieve all the questions of every single exam.

Any ideas?

Actually, I got the answer from Ayende's blog:
