Insert Parent - Children in Castle ActiveRecord

Question

Hi everybody, I am using Castle ActiveRecord to mapping database.

I have a simple database like this: And mapping code:

Group:

[ActiveRecord("[Group]")]
    public class Group : ActiveRecordBase
    {
        private long m_ID;
        private string m_GroupName;
        private string m_Description;
        private IList<Contact> m_Contacts = new List<Contact>();

        [PrimaryKey(Column = "`ID`", Generator = PrimaryKeyType.Identity)]
        public long ID
        {
            get { return m_ID; }
            set { m_ID = value; }
        }

        [Property(Column = "`GroupName`", NotNull = true)]
        public string GroupName
        {
            get { return m_GroupName; }
            set { m_GroupName = value; }
        }

        [Property(Column = "`Description`", NotNull = false)]
        public string Description
        {
            get { return m_Description; }
            set { m_Description = value; }
        }

        [HasAndBelongsToMany(typeof(Contact),
            Table = "`Contact_Group`",
            ColumnRef = "`ContactID`",
            ColumnKey = "`GroupID`")]
        public IList<Contact> Contacts
        {
            get { return m_Contacts; }
            set { this.m_Contacts = value; }
        }

        public static Group[] FindAll()
        {
            try
            {
                return (Group[])ActiveRecordBase.FindAll(typeof(Group));
            }
            catch (Exception e)
            {
                MessageBox.Show(e.Message, "Loi", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error);

Contact_Group:

[Serializable]
    public class Contact_Group_Key
    {
        private string m_ContactID;
        private long m_GroupID;

        [KeyProperty(Column="`ContactID`")]

        }

        [KeyProperty(Column="`GroupID`")]

            set { m_GroupID = value; }
        }              

        public override int GetHashCode()
        { return this.m_GroupID.GetHashCode() ^ this.m_ContactID.GetHashCode(); }

        public override bool Equals(object obj)
        {
            if (this == obj)
            {
                return true;
            }

            Contact_Group_Key key = obj as Contact_Group_Key;

            if (key == null)
            {
                return false;
            }
            if (m_GroupID != key.m_GroupID || !m_ContactID.Equals(key.m_ContactID))
            {

            }
            return true;
        }
    }

    [ActiveRecord("[Contact_Group]")]
    public class Contact_Group : ActiveRecordBase
    {        
        private Contact_Group_Key m_Key;
        private Contact m_Contact;
        private Group m_Group;

        {

            get { return this.m_Contact; }
        }
    }

Now I want to insert a new contact into Contact table as well as add a set of Contact_Group to Contact_Group table. This is my code:

public void Save()
        {
            try
            {
                if (this.view.CheckFields())
                {
                    // Add new contact 
                    if (this.contact == null)
                    {
                        Contact c = new Contact();
                        c.FirstName = this.view.GetFirstName();
                        c.LastName = this.view.GetLastName();
                        c.Number = this.view.GetNumber();
                        c.Sex = this.view.GetSex();
                        c.DayOfBirth = this.view.GetDayOfBirth();
                        c.Nationality = this.view.GetNationality();
                        c.ExtraNumber = this.view.GetExtraNumber();
                        c.Email = this.view.GetEmail();
                        c.Address = this.view.GetAddress();
                        c.Company = this.view.GetCompany();
                        c.Career = this.view.GetCareer();
                        c.ExtraInfo = this.view.GetExtraInfo();

                        // Check if the contact's number is valid
                        if (IsValidNumber(c.Number))
                        {                            
                            Group[] gs = this.view.GetGroupList();
                            foreach (Group g in groups)
                            {
                                c.Groups.Add(g);                           
                            }                         
                            c.CreateAndFlush();
                        }
                    }
                    else // Modify a contact
                    {

                    }
                }
            }
            catch (OleDbException e)
            {
                MessageBox.Show(e.Message, "Loi", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error);
            }
        }

But after perform Save() it just insert a new Contact without the Contact_Group. Do I have any error in mapping or in Save() method? Plz help me. Thanks in advanced. P/S: I am newbie in NHibernate.

Answer 1

I tried this code, and it worked =.=

using (new SessionScope())
{
    Group[] gs = this.view.GetGroupList();
    foreach (Group g in groups)
    {
    contact.Groups.Add(g);
    }
    contact.Save();
}
