Nhibernate GetById returns ObjectNotFoundException insetad of null

Question

I am using fluent Nhibernate. This code Loads an instance of type T from the DB based on its ID. ``` public T GetById(IdT id, bool shouldLock) { T entity; if (shouldLock) { entity = (T) NHibernateSession.Load(persitentType, id, LockMode.Upgrade); } else { entity = (T) NHibernateSession.Load(persitentType, id); } return entity; } ``` But I have big problem. When I call property on it I get `ObjectNotFoundException` instead of `null`. How can I make that entity be nullable and not return the Exception?

Accepted Answer

I would use Get instead of Load. Get will return null, instead of an exception.
