OBSOLETE - How to filter persistent objects against their type

===================================================
Scenario

We have a Department object that has a collection of Employees. Employees can be either objects of the LocalEmployee or ForeignEmployee types - descendants of the EmployeeBase class.
Our goal is to filter out a collection of employees by their type in code. In addition, there should be a capability to easily determine the employee type if a collection of EmployeeBase records is shown in the UI, e.g., by having a computed string property that returns the actual object type name.

Solution
To filter by the type, employ the service ObjectType field (or ObjectType.TypeName) or built-in IsExactType, IsInstanceOfType criteria functions provided by XPO.
Take special note that you can use these means with the PersistentAliasAttribute for filtering on the server side (see the EntityType property within the EmployeeBase class).
Check out the attached sample for a complete implementation and unit tests for this functionality.

IMPORTANT NOTES

This sample requires NUnit Framework.
