ConventionModelMapper & .net 4 ISet<>

Note: This information is mosly obsolete as it applies to NHibernate 3 only. If you run on .Net 4 you should use NHibernate 4, which has built-in support for .Net 4's ISet<>.

For anyone using José's Net4CollectionTypeFactory to enable native ISet<> usage, here's how to get the convention mapper to recognize your ISet<> properties as type Set rather than Bag (code courtesy JFR):

In your mapping

mapper.IsSet(IsSetFieldType);

Function implementation

private static bool IsSetFieldType(MemberInfo mi, bool declared)
        {
            var propertyTypeIsSet = mi.GetPropertyOrFieldType()
                .GetGenericInterfaceTypeDefinitions()
                .Contains(typeof(ISet<>));
 
            if (propertyTypeIsSet) return true;
 
            var backFieldInfo = PropertyToField.GetBackFieldInfo((PropertyInfo)mi);
 
            return backFieldInfo != null
                   && backFieldInfo
                          .FieldType.GetGenericInterfaceTypeDefinitions().Contains(typeof(ISet<>));
        }

Remember to add the collection type factory to your config..

configuration.CollectionTypeFactory<Net4CollectionTypeFactory>();
