Hi,

in my C# application I have a parent-child relation mapped the following way:
(Snippet shows mapping file from parent object)



I use the cascade option for delete update and so on. For all scenarios the cascade behavior is very usefull an welcome.
I work with detached objects and as you can see without lazy loading.
But now I try to update just the birthdate from the parent-object without updating all the child-objects.

Is there a possibility to disable the cascade-behavior for just one database operation?

Thanks in advance

Sorry for pushing....

Nobody just an idea? Every simple hint might be usefull.

You can try using "dynamic-update" on the class mapping:

The documentation says:



I`m working with detached objects. How do NHibernate knows which columns have changed? Does it work in this case?

Don't know, probably not, but it was the closest thing, I could think of. Maybe you can combine this with an IInterceptor with a custom dirty check.
