Question

I’m having some trouble where returning “this” is somehow returning a different reference/type when using castle proxies with nhibernate.
Castle is 2.5.2.0 and NHibernate is 3.1.0.4000

public class Node
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public Node Me() { return this; }
}

public static void SomeMethod()
{
    var node = session.Load<Node>(1)
    var me = node.Me()
    //ReferenceEquals(node, me) // false
    //node == me // false
    //node.GetType().Name // NodeProxy
    //me.GetType().Name // Node
    me.Id = 88;
    // node.Id == 88 // true
}

This is an expected behavior. See my blog post, Hacking lazy loaded inheritance.
