I have a class that uses a property that I don't want persisted. I understand that when using a mapping file, I can simply not include that property in the mapping file and it will be successfully ignored.

However, we are using attributes in our classes. Is there an attribute that I can use to tell NHibernate to ignore the property in my class?

For example (albeit a bad example):

[Serializable, Class(Table = "DOGS")]
public class Dog{

private string name;
private bool hasTicks;

[Property(Column = "CORRELATION_LANG_TAG")]
public virtual string name{ get {return name;} set{ name = value;} }


public bool HasTicks{ get {return name.equals("joe");} }
}


How do I decorate the HasTicks property or the hasTicks field such that NHibernate knows to ignore it?

Thanks,
Christian

I think I figured this out on my own. I simply took out all attributes from the property and kept the property virtual and that did the trick.
