Hi there,

I have a collection of Kids, defined as IDicitionary, in an employee class. When i try to load the employees and subsequently the kids of the employees I get back this error:


"The type NHibernate.Collection.Set can not be assigned to a property of type System.COllections.IDictionary setter of HibernateAppTest.Employee.Kids"

Any ideas, all of the XML mappings look correct base off the tutorial from TSS (Dept -> classes example). If i alter the property setter to be an object, instead of the IDictionary it works fine. Is there something Im missing? Id rather not have to cast into/from a seperate property just to be able to use the name/value pairness of it. That is if its even storing it as that...havnt tested that far yet.

Thanks for any help,
Aaj

The tutorial is very outdated, use Iesi.Collections.ISet instead of an IDictionary if you use sets. Or map the dictionary using <map>.

Thanks! However, Im now running into a new problem, hehe.

Here is the map of the collection (EmpID is the forgien key that relates a kid back to an employee)

<map name="Kids" cascade="all">
<key column="EmpID" />
<index column="KidID" type="Int32" />
<one-to-many class="HibernateAppTest.Kid, HibernateAppTest"/>
</map>

I am getting the following error:
"could not initialize collection: [HibernateAppTest.Employee.Kids#1005]"

Im assuming that the 1005 is an ID, the only ID of that number (anywhere in the DB, this is a very small test) is one of the employees and they have no kids assigned to them.

Any thoughts?
