I was wondering if there was a way of limiting what is returned by nHibernate.

Let me explain....... in my current system I am using NHibernate and in this system I have a User Entity which contains a Fair entity and each Fair entity has many Stand entities and each stand has a Forum entity ant each forum has many Post entity.


So the act of me getting a User object from NHibernate results in me bringing back an awful lot of other objects.......and some of the time this is necessary as the system needs this information...but when it doesn’t it means an awful lot on info is being stored in memory.

Is there anyway around this?


From my time developing with java and Hibernate......i know you can use Spring and dynaclasses for this.....is there anything like this for C#.net and Nhibernate.

Will implementing Lazy Loading in your case be helpful.

No not really because lazy it more like a on/off solution....where as i might for example may one an object to be returned but only certain attributes from it. Or i might want different attributes in different situations
