How to turn off NHibernate's automatic (dirty checking) update behaviour?

Question

I\'ve just discovered that if I get an object from an NHibernate session and change a property on object, NHibernate will automatically update the object on commit without m

Answer 1

You can set Session.FlushMode to FlushMode.Never. This will make your operations explicit

ie: on tx.Commit() or session.Flush(). Of course this will still update the database upon commit/flush. If you do not want this behavior, then call session.Evict(yourObj) and it will then become transient and NHibernate will not issue any db commands for it.

Response to your edit: Yes, that guy gives you more options on how to control it.
