Hi

Creating the domain objects and adding data to my database using ISession.SaveOrUpdate() works great.

My problem is I cannot figure out how to copy records. I have found the following example code:



Is this the best way to do it? What would happen if I had a many-to-one relationship scenario and tried the same code, would it work?

Thanks!

Another method would be to close and reopen the session so I can make changes to the product object:



Both of these methods didn't seem right and I have gone down the route of deep cloning my product object (using serialization), setting its Id to 0 (to avoid any clashes in my table) and persisting it back using the session object.

This work great until you start building one-to-one relationships and need to clone each child object individually and reset their Id's to 0.

I'd just like to know that the method of keeping a constant session, cloning my domainobjects, resetting their key field to 0 and persisting them back is the correct/best/preferred way of copying records in a database?

Many Thanks!

You could, probably implement ICloneable interface and copy the object by yourself or in Burrow project there is helper: " to clone objects using Serialization" which is in fact like:
