You need to firstly make all of those properties virtual so that NHibernate can proxy them. Then you need to work out how to map the class to the database. You can do this with XML mapping files, or something like Fluent NHibernate – I’d recommend the latter.

And obviously you’ll need a matching database – there are ways to generate a script for this using NHibernate as well if you need this. But from your question I’m assuming the database is pre-existing.
