Mapping Composite keys in Fluent NHibernate

Viewed 34367

I am new to Fluent NHibernate and have been unable to figure out how to map composite keys.

How can I do this? What approach do I need to take?

There's a CompositeId method.

public class EntityMap : ClassMap<Entity>
{
  public EntityMap()
  {
      CompositeId()
      .KeyProperty(x => x.Something)
      .KeyReference(x => x.SomethingElse);
  }
}

if this is your first class

public class EntityMap : ClassMap<Entity>
{
  public EntityMap()
  {
    UseCompositeId()
      .WithKeyProperty(x => x.Something)
      .WithReferenceProperty(x => x.SomethingElse);
  }
}

here is the second with a reference on Entity

public class SecondEntityMap : ClassMap<SecondEntity>
    {
      public SecondEntityMap()
      {
        Id(x => x.Id);

        ....

        References<Entity>(x => x.EntityProperty)
          .WithColumns("Something", "SomethingElse")
          .LazyLoad()
          .Cascade.None()
          .NotFound.Ignore()
          .FetchType.Join();

      }
    }
