There were many situations when I had to make sure that I Get (or Load) fresh entity object from database and not from cache.
What I believe is with NHibernate there is no other way to do so except to use UnitOfWork.Refresh method after Get. This may do 2 database requests if object was not into the cache.

Otherway I can put it as, I need to know if there is anything by which could know if the object is in cache or not using Primary key

I don't want to change cache control setting which may affect current performance of my software.

Thanks in advance,

What I need is something like this,



OR

You can use Evict() to remove object and its collections for the first level cache. You can also use Contains() on ISession to see if instance belongs to a session cache. See chapter 15.3. in NH reference (Managing caches)

But "Contains" and "Evict" both needs objects with me.. I cannot evict by Primary key and so, cannot avoid 2 DB hit.

ok.. I guess if I create object using 'new' and then assign primary key to it and then try to see if Session 'Contains' the object.
My entity object should implement 'Equals' or overrride hash code generation...
