Ignoring properties on manually mapped entities

[Joseph LeBlanc]

I'm using both the auto-mapper as well as manually mapping entities in
my current project. This is because I'm dealing with a legacy database
where a significant amount of the existing tables and relationships
simply require manual intervention to map properly.

However I need to be able to mark certain properties that should be
ignored when generating mappings on types that are auto-mapped or
manually mapped.I have created a custom attribute that I use with
OverrideAll() in the auto-mapper and this works fine for auto-mapped
entities but I'm having trouble figuring out what the equivalent would
be when manually mapping types.

Here's my mapping code:

this.sessionFactory = Fluently.Configure()
.Database
(FluentNHibernate.Cfg.Db.MsSqlConfiguration.MsSql2005.ConnectionString
(c => c
.Is(this.dbSettings.ConnectionString)))
.Mappings(m =>
{
m.AutoMappings.Add(
AutoMap.AssemblyOf<NHibernateAutoMapBase>()
.Setup(s =>
{
s.IsBaseType = type => type == typeof
(NHibernateAutoMapBase);
})
.Where(d => (d.BaseType != null &&
d.BaseType.Equals(typeof(NHibernateAutoMapBase))))
.OverrideAll(map =>
{
map.IgnoreProperties(x =>
x.GetCustomAttributes(typeof(NHibernateIgnorePropertyAttribute),
true).Count() > 0);
})
.Conventions.AddFromAssemblyOf<NHibernateAutoMapBase>
()
);

//m.AutoMappings.ExportTo("Auto");

Assembly a = Assembly.GetAssembly(typeof
(NHibernateAutoMapBase));
foreach (Type t in a.GetTypes())
{
if (t.GetInterface(typeof
(IMappingProvider).FullName) != null)
{
m.FluentMappings.Add
(t);
}
}

m.FluentMappings.Conventions.AddFromAssemblyOf<NHibernateAutoMapBase>
();
//m.FluentMappings.ExportTo("Manual");
})
.BuildSessionFactory();

Hi Joseph,

I'm a little confused. Why do you need to detect the attribute for your manual mappings? By their very definition, they only map what you specify.

Sorry if I'm missing something obvious.

I was getting a fluent-nhibernate configuration error but it looks
like it was just because I hadn't marked my property virtual.

Doh.
