Problem with include property based on Abstract Entity (EF 4.1)

Question

the LoadProperty is good alternative for Include method... Problem with Eager Loading Nested Navigation Based on Abstract Entity (EF CTP5)

But I can't do it in my Repository because i haven't context, I just have IDbSet. Think you it's bad idea ? Should I have the DbContext instead of IDbSet ? Or an other alternative is possible ? (My problem is similar to the referenced link) Thanks

Use DbContext in repository. You can need it for much more operations and because repository is already dependent on EF there is no reason to hide context from it.

Ok, in case of I want to get all Entity with associations (the scenario in referenced link is to find one entity and load its property), how can I do-it ? – rad Mar 24 '11 at 14:44
If you want all entities with associations you usually call `context.Entities.Include(...)` You must be more specific. – Ladislav Mrnka Mar 24 '11 at 17:21
But if you want to mock repository for test how you made for context ? – rad Mar 29 '11 at 13:58
@rad: Why do you need context if you mock whole repository? – Ladislav Mrnka Mar 29 '11 at 13:59
sorry, i wasn't very clear. If I want unit testing my repository I do mock Context – rad Mar 30 '11 at 09:24
