NHibernate Readonly Entities at Runtime

Question

I would like to know if there is a way to make an instance of an entity immutable at runtime. I know that I can have readonly types, but I would like readonly instances of types at runtime. Reason being, that I want to use NH domain objects like a lightweight entity by modifying properties, but don't want those changes to persist when doing a Session.Flush () or similar. There is always Session.Evict(), but that won't prevent the unknowing developer from a Session.Save () on a "readonly" entity.

Answer 1

Take a look at this article by Fabio Maulo, you can use that as a starting point and change it to track individual entities.
