Question

I am using Fluent NHibernate AutoMappings to map my entities, including a few component objects.
One of the component objects includes a property like the following:

public string Value 
{ 
  set _value = value; 
}

This causes an NHibernate.PropertyNotFoundException: “Could not find a getter for property ‘Value’…”

I want to ignore this property.

I tried creating an IAutoMappingOverride for the component class but I couldn’t use AutoMapping<>.IgnoreProperty(x => x.Value) for the same reason.
“The property or indexer ‘MyComponent.Value’ cannot be used in this context because it lacks the get accessor”

I’ve also looked at IComponentConvention but can’t see anyway of altering the mappings with this convention.

Any help would be appreciated…

Thanks

You can use:

Reveal.Member<Owner, object> ("Value")`.

Eg

mapping.IgnoreProperty(Reveal.Member<Owner, object> ("Value")

Reveal.Member can be used anywhere Fluent NHibernate expects an expression. This can be used to expose private/protected properties and fields.
