I'm developing a sample application so that I can learn the ins and outs of NHibernate. I am struggling with a delete issue. I wish to be able to delete a child record by removing it from its parent’s collection and then saving the parent. I have setup a bidirectional one-to-many relationship and inserting/updating is working great.
Here are my mappings
Basket:
<bag name="Items" inverse="true" cascade="all">
<key column="BasketId" />
<one-to-many class="BasketItem" />
</bag>
BasketItem:
<many-to-one not-null="true" name="Basket" column="BasketId" />
I would like to call basket.RemoveBasketItem(BasketItem item)
then Session.SaveUpdate(basket)
so that the basket item will be deleted. Is this possible?
Change cascade="all"
into cascade="all-delete-orphan"
.
cascade="all"
will only delete your child records if the parent gets deleted.
I have same scenario and ive used cascade="all-delete-orphan" in bagList but when i delete a single child item in a collection it deletes the parent object as well.
I was having the same problem as initforthemoney due to returning a new list as ReadOnly from my collection getter. I found I could continue to use the ReadOnly list by changing the property access strategy of the collection from nosetter
to field
.
I was having a problem where my children elements where returning an Ordered enumerable.
private readonly IList<Child> children;
public virtual IEnumerable<Child> Children { get { return children.OrderBy(c => c.Position); } }
public virtual void DeleteChild(Child item)
{
children.Remove(item);
}
I moved the ordering to my mapping and returned the children as it is for the IEnumerable. This worked for me!
