This is all seems to be too complicated :(

I think that actually this method is executed:

public PagedResult<ItemTree> GetPagedRequest(QueryRequest queryRequest)
		{
            // TO DO: uncomment and modify Field and Value below to exclude blank records from paged request, if necessary
			 queryRequest.FilterInfo.Filters.Add(new FilterItem { Field = "parent_id", Operator = "==", Value = 0 });
			
			return _itemTreeRepository.GetPagedRequest(queryRequest);
		}

So, since it had TO DO I hope my change is going to work here.

The problem is that it returns ItemTree entity which has too many columns. All the models are actually auto-generated using EDMX and run custom tool method.

So, suppose I wanted to create an ItemTreeSimple model (or something along the lines), I am not exactly sure where to add this simple model.
