Question

In active record to write a model you write:

[ActiveRecord("TableName")]
public class Model
{
   [Property("SomeField")]
   public virtual string SomeField { get; set; };

   [Property("SomeLazyField"), Lazy= true]
   public virtual string SomeLazyField { get; set; };

}

If the field is lazy it must fetch it on the first access, so how does the Property attribute override the property and fetches the SomeLazyField value?

Quoted from Rohan:

I would imagine that AR generates a
dynamic proxy and uses interceptors to
perform lazy loading. I am not
familiar with AR, but have been using
Dynamic Proxy and Windsor container
for the last year, there are plenty of
examples that demonstrate these
concepts.

Quoted from Roelof Blom:

Actually it’s NH that generates the
proxy.
