How can I map the class AttributeSet with Fluent NHibernate using a fluent mapping
public class AttributeSet : DictionaryBase
{
private readonly Dictionary<string, object> _cache;
public AttributeSet()
{
_cache = new Dictionary<string, object>();
}
public object this[string index]
{
get
{
return _cache[index];
}
set
{
_cache[index] = value;
}
}
}
public class Entity
{
protected Entity()
{
Attributes = new AttributeSet();
}
public virtual int Id { get; set; }
public virtual string Label { get; set; }
public virtual string Description { get; set; }
public virtual DateTime CreatedDate { get; set; }
public virtual AttributeSet Attributes { get; set; }
}
I don't think there's a way to map your indexer directly, but you can expose the underlying dictionary type and map that instead.
If you don't want to expose the dictionary as public you can map it as a private property instead as explained here. For mapping a dictionary, see here.
An example might be
HasMany<object>(Reveal.Member<AttributeSet>("Cache"))
.KeyColumn("AttributeSetId")
.AsMap<string>(idx => idx.Column("Index"), elem => elem.Column("Value"))
.Access.CamelCaseField(Prefix.Underscore)
Mapping the object type in the dictionary might be interesting, I don't know if NHibernate will be able to translate it directly to an underlying database type.

Hi.
I want just map entity to dto but profile props map to the dto.
Now what can i do for the following problem?
public abstract class DtoProfile<TEntity, TDto> : Profile, IProfile
{
public DtoProfile()
{
var profile = CreateMap<TEntity, TDto>();
CustomMapping(profile);
}
public virtual void CustomMapping(IMappingExpression<TEntity, TDto> mapping)
{
}
}
public class UserDto : DtoProfile<Users,UserDto>
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string FullName { get; set; }
public string NationalCode { get; set; }
public DateTime CreatedDate { get; set; }
}
You're doing this in a wrong way. Mapping Profiles should be for mapping, and not to be inherited from the Dto itself.
You're inherting from Profile in DtoProfile, and these properties are defined in Profile, so they will be there. And as the name of class, it's for mapping profile, and shouldn't be used for Dto.
You should have two classes, one is UserDto where you add all the properties you need to map, and the other is UserDtoProfile which inherits from DtoProfile<User, UserDto> and apply your mappings.
When trying to map, I got this error:
Association references unmapped class: System.Object
My class:
public partial class MessageIdentifier
{
public virtual int ID { get; set; }
public virtual object Item { get; set; }
}
And the convention:
public class MyUsertypeConvention : IPropertyConvention
{
public void Apply(IPropertyInstance instance)
{
if (instance.Type.Name == "Object")
instance.CustomType<string>();
}
}
Kindly suggest how to map?
As a simple (quick, naive) solution - I would suggest to create and map real string property. And then let your setter and getter (or some AOP or listener) to do the "to/from string conversion":
public partial class MessageIdentifier
{
public virtual int ID { get; set; }
public virtual object Item
{
get { return ... my conversion from string; }
set { ItemString = ...my conversion to string; }
}
public virtual string ItemString { get; set; }
}
A smart and preferred (but a bit more challenging) is to create CustomType - which will hide that conversion and support REUSE. Check e.g. here
NHibernate Pitfalls: Custom Types and Detecting Changes
Creating and Testing a Custom NHibernate User Type
Not a satisfactory answer. It doesn't work with class that is generated from xsd by using XML. You can try the following:
public partial class MessageIdentifier
{
public virtual int ID { get; set; }
private object itemField;
public object Item
{
get { return this.itemField; }
set { this.itemField = value; }
}
}
i'm trying to apply LAYERS Concept on demo project developed using mvc and entity framework both
Data Annotations : for validations in Data Access Layer and
Fluent API : for mapping and tables relations
Problem : DbContext didn't Create DB and there is a Runtime Exception :
The type 'Domain.DataLayer.Member' was not mapped. Check that the type has not been explicitly excluded by using the Ignore method or NotMappedAttribute data annotation. Verify that the type was defined as a class, is not primitive, nested or generic, and does not inherit from EntityObject.
Code : my solutions consists of :
1- class library (Domain.Classes project): where i wrote all of my classes
public class Member
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string UserName { get; set; }
public string Password { get; set; }
public string FullName { get; set; }
}
2- DAL (Domain.DataLayer project): also another class library and i referenced domain.classes
namespace Domain.DataLayer.Repositories
{
[MetadataType(typeof(MemberMetadata))]
public partial class Member : Classes.Member , IValidatableObject
{
public Member()
{
Tasks = new HashSet<Task>();
History = new HashSet<Commint>();
}
public string ConfirmPassword { get; set; }
public HashSet<Task> Tasks { get; set; }
public HashSet<Commint> History { get; set; }
public IEnumerable<ValidationResult> Validate(ValidationContext validationContext)
{
var result = new List<ValidationResult>();
if (!string.Equals(Password,ConfirmPassword))
{
result.Add(new ValidationResult("mismatch pwsd", new[] {"ConfirmPassword" }));
}
return result;
}
}
}
and i used repository pattern :
public class MemberRepository : IRepository<Member>
{
public Task<IQueryable<Member>> GetAllEntities()
{
return Task<IQueryable<Member>>.Factory.StartNew(() => new Context().Members.AsQueryable());
}
}
3-BLL : for sake of simplicity : there is no Business Logic Layer
4- PL (Domain.Application MVC Project) : Member Controller :
public async Task<ActionResult> Index()
{
var members = await _repository.GetAllEntities();
return View(members);
}
Note : i depended on DbContext to create DB with name like : Domain.DataLayer.Context but it didn't craete DB so i created the DB and passed the connectionString through Context constructor like this :
namespace Domain.DataLayer
{
public class Context : DbContext
{
public Context(): base("InterviewDemo") // i tried also base("name=InterviewDemo")
{
}
public DbSet<Member> Members { get; set; }
public DbSet<Task> Tasks { get; set; }
public DbSet<Commint> TaskHistory { get; set; }
protected override void OnModelCreating(DbModelBuilder modelBuilder)
{
modelBuilder.Configurations.Add(new MemberConfig());
modelBuilder.Configurations.Add(new TaskConfig());
modelBuilder.Configurations.Add(new CommintConfig());
base.OnModelCreating(modelBuilder);
}
}
}
My class:
[PersistClass]
public class ExternalAccount
{
public virtual AccountType AccountType { get; set; }
public virtual int Id { get; private set; }
public virtual User User { get; set; }
public virtual Dictionary<string, string> Parameters { get; set; }
public ExternalAccount()
{
Parameters = new Dictionary<string, string>();
}
}
The Dictionary is not getting mapped. I understand that automapping doesn't work by default with Dictionaries, how do I configure the mapping? All Parameters is is a list of key/value pairs - so I would expect them to be stored in a table with a foreign key to the externalaccount table. I know I can do this with another class - but it makes access to the parameters in the class more difficult - I'd rather have to configure the complexity once.
Please bear in mind I am new Fluent and to nHibernate.
Thanks
Using a simple class relationship such as the following:
public class Foo {
public virtual IDictionary<string, Bar> Bars { get; set; }
}
public class Bar {
public virtual string Type { get; set; }
public virtual int Value { get; set; }
}
You can map this with Fluent NHibernate in this way:
mapping.HasMany(x => x.Bars)
.AsMap(x => x.Type);
Where Bar.Type is used as the index field into the dictionary.
FluentNHibernate mapping for Dictionary
I have problem with making mapping of classes with propert of type Dictionary and value in it of type Dictionary too, like this:
public class Class1
{
public virtual int Id { get; set; }
public virtual IDictionary<DayOfWeek, IDictionary<int, decimal>> Class1Dictionary { get; set; }
}
My mapping looks like this:
Id(i => i.Id);
HasMany(m => m.Class1Dictionary);
This doesn't work. The important thing I want have everything in one table not in two. WHet I had maked class from this second IDictionary I heve bigger problem. But first I can try like it is now.
It's not currently possible to use nested collections of any type in NHibernate.
Instead, you should define your property as follows:
public virtual IDictionary<DayOfWeek, Class2> Class1Dictionary { get; set; }
And add a new class:
public class Class2
{
public virtual decimal this[int key]
{
get { return Class2Dictionary[key]; }
set { Class2Dictionary[key] = value; }
}
public virtual IDictionary<int, decimal> Class2Dictionary { get; set; }
}
This way, you can map both classes and dictionaries normally, and still access your dictionary as:
class1Instance.Class1Dictionary[DayOfWeek.Sunday][1] = 9.4
