Force all nhibernate proxies to be load for an instance...

Question

I want to take a snapshot of an instance of an entity and therefore I want to force all proxies to load for this instance.

I don't want disable lazy loading for the majority of the time I just wondering if there is an API I can call to force all proxies to be loaded.

Answer 1

Well there is a utility function NHibernateUtil.Initialize(object) which is not recursive if i remember correctly. With the help of NHibernateUtil.IsInitialized(object) you can create a method of your own that loads all proxies in an oject

Answer 2

There is a lazy initializer for NHibernate on codeproject that should be able to accomplish this.
