fluent-nhibernate

I have a test database design like this: The following is the pseudo-code: //BhillHeader public class BillHeader { public BillHeader() { BillDetails = new List<BillDetail>(); } public virtual int BillNo { get; set; } public virtual IList<BillDetail> BillDetails { get; set; } public virtual decimal Amount { get; set; } public virtual void AddDetail(BillDetail billdet) { BillDetails.Add(billdet); } } //BillHeader Map public class BillHeaderMap : ClassMap<BillHeader> { public BillHeaderMap() { Table("BillHeader"); LazyLoad(); Id(x => x.BillNo).GeneratedBy.Identity().Column("BillNo"); Map(x => x

In Fluent Nhibernate what is the effect of specifying AsSet() on a HasMany or HasManyToMany relationship? Assuming the type of the mapped property is an Iesi Set, is there any difference between: HasMany(x => x.MySetProperty) .AsSet(); and HasMany(x => x.MySetProperty); Assuming your type is an Iesi Set, then there's no difference; the HasMany call on it's own is smart enough to figure out that you want a Set. The AsSet is a way to explicitly change your HasMany to a Set in situations where FNH might not be able to determine it by type, for example if you're exposing your collection as an

I have the following 2 classes: Advert public virtual int Id { get; set; public virtual IList<AdvertImage> AdvertImages { get; set; } AdvertImage public virtual int Id { get; set; } public virtual string Filename { get; set; public virtual Advert Advert { get; set; } In the DB, my AdvertImages table has the FK 'AdvertId' which relates to the Adverts table which has the PK of 'Id'. This is a One-To-Many mapping, in that one advert can have many images. My Fluent NHibernate mappings (edited for brevity) are: AdvertMap Id(x => x.Id) .GeneratedBy.Identity(); ... HasMany(x => x.AdvertImages)

It seems to me that most people write their tests against in-memory, in-process databases like SQLite when working with NHibernate. I have this up and running but my first test (that uses NHibernate) always takes between 3-4 seconds to execute. The next test runs much faster. I am using FluentNhibernate to do the mapping but get roughly the same timings with XML mapping files. For me the 3-4 second delay seriously disrupts my flow. What is the recomended way of working with TDD and NHibernate? Is it possible to mock ISession to unit test the actual queries or can this only be done with in

I am trying to use fluent with session per request. I am following a "recipe" from nhibernate cookbook however it uses the nhibernate config file. I am not sure what is better but right now I am sticking with fluent config just because I would not know how to set the nhibernate config file to use fluent mapping and vanilla nhibernate mapping(hbm files). namespace Demo.WebUI { public class MvcApplication : NinjectHttpApplication { public static ISessionFactory SessionFactory { get; private set; } protected override void OnApplicationStarted() { SessionFactory = Fluently.Configure() .Database

I am sure this is a straightforward question but consider the following: I have a reference between company and sector as follows: public class Company { public Guid ID { get; set; } public Sector Sector { get; set; } public Guid SectorID { get; set; } } public class Sector { public Guid ID { get; set; } public string Name { get; set; } } Ok. What I want is the SectorID of the Company object to be populated after I go: (new Company()).Sector = new Sector() { Name="asdf" } and do a flush. The mapping I am using kindly creates an additional column in the database called Sector_Id in the Company
