my progrom need do reflection on some persisent object
like this

persisent .GetType()

now I m using NHibernate v1.20

form the following post I know that it may cause some problem when using lazy loading and reflection at the same time

and it really cause some problem when I use reflection.
e.g AmbiguousMatchException, wrong type return ...etc

http://forum.hibernate.org/viewtopic.ph ... reflection


Finally, I have rewrite the GetType method @ my persisent obj

public virtual new Type GetType()
{
return base.GetType();
}

then the problem seems solve

However, I'm not very sure that it will fix the problem, since I can't seen any connnetion between above coding and the dynamic proxy

do any one know why above work?

Hi prowlclark,

The reason this works is that Dynamic Proxy has created a sub-class of your real class. So the base class of ths DP created class is your real class.

thanks FlukeFan,

public virtual new Type GetType()
{
return base.GetType();
}

this coding seems to do nothing, and no any value added job here.
why this will trigger the proxy to create real class when do the following call ?

presistenat.GetType();...

when the proxy will decede to create a real class, why overide gettype will trigger it to create a real class ?

thank

Accessing any method/property (except the identifier property) will cause the proxy to inflate the real object. This is correct behaviour.

If you need to get the type of the object, but need to handle proxies too, then you might be better using the GetClass() utility method in NHibernate.Proxy:
