Castle ActiveRecord lazy/proxy issues

[Tim Schmidt]

I have an ActiveRecord class, let's call it MyClass, that's set Lazy=true at the class level.  When I call ActiveRecordMediator<MyClass>.FindByPrimaryKey(0), I get back a MyClass proxy object (since id 0 doesn't exist).  I guess I would expect to get a null but I can see why I get a proxy.  My question is how the heck do I check if that record actually existed?  Right now, as soon as I access any property on the returned proxy object, I get an ObjectNotFoundException.

Help!

Follow up question, in this case I don't really even care to lazy load.  Can I bypass that behavior for this one call?

If I remember well FindByprimaryKey has an overload:

public static object FindByPrimaryKey(Type targetType, object id, bool throwOnNotFound);

with the overload you can specify the action when the record doesn't exist.
