Fluent NHibernate - How to map the foreign key column as a property

Question

I am sure this is a straightforward question but consider the following: I have a reference between company and sector as follows:

public class Company {
    pub         


        

Answer 1

Two thoughts: First of all, wouldn't something like this accomplish what you want?

public class Company {
    public Guid ID { get; set; }
    public Sector Sector { get; set; }
    public Guid SectorID {
        get { return Section.ID; }
        // Really not sure what behavior your setter should have here; Maybe it shouldn't even have one?
        set { Sector = new Sector { ID = value }; }
    }
}

Second, when you say that the mapping created a column in the DB called Sector_Id, is that in addition to a column that you created named SectorID? If so, you can change the column name so it uses the correct name (here's the documentation for mappings, see a few headings down "Specifying the column name").

Also, are you mapping the SectorID property (eg. "Map(x => x.SectorID, "Sector_Id")")?
