While trying to serialize (usual .NET serialization to XML) object retrieved
via. NHibernate query got exception.
"There was an error generating the XML document."

The research showed that exception appeared
for domain objects agents which are reffered by other
domain objects in the same NHibernate session.

IList<Agent> agents = agentsSerializer.GetAgents(new AgentsFilter());
XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(Agent));

foreach (Agent agent in agents)
{
TextWriter writer = new StreamWriter(@"c:\src\test.xml");
serializer.Serialize(writer, agent);
writer.Close();
}

So serializer.Serialize(..) fails only for
agents which are child entities
<many-to-one name="Agent" class="Agent" column="AgentID"/>
of other domain objects in the same session.

In Visual Studio debugger I see
that such agents implements some NHibernate interface
CProxyTypeAgentDomain_INHibernateProxy_ISerializable2

Could you please give me some advise or workaround?

Thanks!

Is the error you are getting say anything about circular reference. if so decorate the parent property of the child classes with [xmlignore] alternatively u can set the parent property to null

And I'm still interested in solving this problem :(((
