Why I like NHibernate Generics

Because I wrote it, of course J

Beside this, there is the nice part about smart collection and references that can save me quite a bit of code. Take this example:

 

RuleBase rule = RulesTree.SelectedNode.Tag as RuleBase;

if(RulesTree.SelectedNode.Parent==null)//top Rule

{

    customer.Rules.Remove(rule);

}

else

{

    ContainerRule parent = RulesTree.SelectedNode.Parent.Tag as ContainerRule;

    parent.Children.Remove(rule);

}

 

I started to write this code, but soon realized that because I used NHibernate Generics’ smart collection, I could do this instead:

 

RuleBase rule = RulesTree.SelectedNode.Tag as RuleBase;

rule.Customer = null;

rule.Parent = null;

 

This is much simpler, in my opinion, and it has the same affect.
