Lazy Loading in NHibernate

Question

If a Customer has many Orders attached to them. How would you lazy load the Orders List using NHibernate.

Is it something that needs to be set up mapping file? any

Answer 1

Chris' suggestion is how I'd do it, however if you want to do it at runtime you can set the Fetchmode on your criteria to be lazy like so:

criteria.SetFetchMode("Orders", FetchMode.Lazy)
