Do I have to implement Add/Delete methods in my NHibernate entities ?
- by Lisa
This is a sample from the Fluent NHibernate website:
Compared to the Entitiy Framework I have ADD methods in my POCO in this code sample using NHibernate. With the EF I did context.Add or context.AddObject etc... the context had the methods to put one entity into the others entity collection!
Do I really have to implement Add/Delete/Update methods (I do not mean the real database CRUD operations!) in a NHibernate entity ?
public class Store
{
public virtual int Id { get; private set; }
public virtual string Name { get; set; }
public virtual IList<Product> Products { get; set; }
public virtual IList<Employee> Staff { get; set; }
public Store()
{
Products = new List<Product>();
Staff = new List<Employee>();
}
public virtual void AddProduct(Product product)
{
product.StoresStockedIn.Add(this);
Products.Add(product);
}
public virtual void AddEmployee(Employee employee)
{
employee.Store = this;
Staff.Add(employee);
}
}
