I'm trying to map a simple data structure in nhibernate Tables: Employees employeeID int username varchar(30) departmentID int Departments departmentID int deptName varchar(50) My department mapping is like so: public class DepartmentMap: ClassMap<Department> { public DepartmentMap() { Id(m => m.DepartmentID).Column("departmentID"); Map(m => m.DepartmentName).Column("deptName").Length(50); HasMany(m => m.Employees); Table("Departments"); } } ... and the employee mapping public class EmployeeMap : ClassMap<Employee> { public EmployeeMap() { Id(x => x.EmployeeID, "employeeID"); Map(x => x

I have two classes Order and Items I want a method like this class Order { public virtual IList<Item> GetItems(Order order) { //get items for that order. } } class Item { public virtual IList<Order> GetOrders(Item item) { //get all the orders in which that items is present. } } Is it write to create a method like this or instead should I create a property public virtual IList<Item> Items { get; set; } And how should I do the mapping for this is nhibernate?? Apparently you have a many-to-many relationship: An order can have many items and an item can belong to many orders. In a relational

I have a project with my mappings and entities stored in other class libraries and NHibernate layers in another project. In my testing project I would like to add these mapping via fluently configure... Mappings... via assebly and not individually. In my code below you can see I added just one entity.. But I would like to configure it to scan my other assemblies. I am sure I am just missing the obvious here.. any pointers would be greatly appreciated... [Test] public void Can_generate_schemaFluently() { var cfg = new Configuration(); cfg.Configure(); Configuration configuration = null;

I have a parent child relationship where I want to return only one parent and load all the children. I am using criteria because it is a dynamic query. var messageQueueId = this.GetPropertyName<MessageQueue>(x => x.Id); var query = _sessionManager.Session.CreateCriteria<MessageQueue>(QUEUE_ALIAS); query.SetFirstResult(_pageOffset); query.SetMaxResults(_pageSize); query.Add(Restrictions.In(messageQueueId, _messageQueueIds)); query.List<MessageQueue>(); This returns the parent (MessageQueue) but not it's children (SearchMatches). When I try to do this: var query = _sessionManager.Session

I have quite a problem with NHibernate. I have a reference from Table1 to Table2, and I want NHibernate to, when a corresponding record is not found in Table2, to not then issue a SELECT statement against Table2, to, I don't know, make really really sure that it actually isn't there. I've tried adding modifiers like .LazyLoad(Laziness.False) and .NotFound.Ignore() to my reference, but NHibernate gaily ignores my commands with extreme prejudice, issuing its select and breaking my code. Radim Köhler It is correct, that NHibernate tries to load "not existing". It must do that. As stated here
