NHibernate.StaleStateException : Unexpected row count: 0; expected: 1

Question

Hl Guys,

I am busy writing a backend administrative program for a system that exists. I have selected NHibernate for my data access solution and am fairly new to it. I am experiencing the following error in a parent/child relationship:

NHibernate.StaleStateException : Unexpected row count: 0; expected: 1

This error is caused by the fact that in my source code I add the new child object into the parent’s children collection of MeetingAdministrators. When I save the parent object I expect the children to be added as well, however an INSERT is generated only for the parent object. Nhibernate does not generate an INSERT for the child but instead attempts to UPDATE the child even though it does not exist. Thus it brings up the error message shown above. I have looked everywhere on the web and nhibernate documentation for this scenario but have not found any help. Most code involves foreign keys that are not part of the primary key, or people seem to be dealing with one-to-one or many-to-many relationships. I need to specify the mapping and code so that on insert of the parent, the children get inserted as well. Please help.

My data structure is as follows:

Meeting – parent table

• MeetingID (pk) (int, identity)
• Description
• StartDate
• IsActive
• Venue

MeetingAdministrator – child table

• MeetingID (pk, fk)
• AdminNetworkID (pk) (varchar)
• DateCreated
• IsActive

And here is the Visual Basic .NET source:

<Serializable()> _

    Public Overridable Property MeetingID() As Integer
        Get
            Return _MeetingID

Got the same error message but it was triggered by a delete. The simple reason was the entry had been deleted before already.
