Problem Understanding Fluent nHibernate Automapping and Relationship

Question

I am a bit new to Fluent nHibernate and ran into a scenario with my schema I'm not sure how to address.

Say I have two tables:

Track

TrackId UserId Name

Users

UserId Name

Now, what I want to do is have the ability to access the related User object by track. For example:

var track = repo.GetById(1);

var userName = track.User.Name;

How can I get nHibernate to automap this new custom User property?

Answer 1

Here you go:

public class Track
{
    public virtual int Id {get;set;}
    public virtual string Name {get;set;}
    public virtual User User {get;set;}
}

public class User
{
    public virtual int Id {get;set;}
    public virtual string Name {get;set;}
}

// Usage
var track = repo.GetById(1);
var username = track.User.Name;
