NHibernate Eager loading multi-level child objects

Question

I have a hierarchy of objects, Order, Contact, Address:

public class Order {
     public virtual Contact BillingContact { get; set; }
}

public class Contact         


        

Answer 1

I believe you might need to add an alias to BillingContact to allow you access to it's Address.

Something like:

var criteria = DetachedCriteria.For<Order>()
  .CreateAlias("BillingContact", "bc")
  .SetFetchMode("BillingContact", FetchMode.Eager)
  .SetFetchMode("bc.Address", FetchMode.Eager)
