Cloning of nhibernate class Objects

[Kolli Ayyappa]

Hi,

I am trying to close one object to another object of nhibernate class.

For eg:
I have AutoID class and assocation as one object
I plan to clone to another object Cert, now all common properties
need to copy to Cert object with assocation values

I am looking, is there way nhibernate providing this feature or any
thoughts


Thanks,
Ayyappa kolli

No, NHibernate does not provide cloning as it has no knowledge on how
to clone relations as a deep or shallow copy.

Just implement IClonable and implement the method. It really is
nothing special when all your objects implement it this way.

If you really have a shitload of properties then you could for exampe
use AutoMapper to perform the cloning but I would advise to just do
the mapping by hand.

Example:

public class CloneMePlease : ICloneable
{
public int Id { get; protected set; }
public string X { get; set; }
public string Y { get; set; }
public string Z { get; set; }

public CloneMePlease Clone()
{
return new CloneMePlease
{
X = X,
Y = Y,
Z = Z
};
}

object ICloneable.Clone()
{
return Clone();
}
}

Hope this helps.
