c# - In the nhibernate, how can I determine if a mapped entity has cascade = "all"? -

i'm making general nhibernate method can determine, given instantiated nhibernate mapped object @ runtime, if object referenced other object in 'database'.

this way, i'll able allow user delete objects if not referenced, , throw errors if (along info how many things reference object).

i ran snag though, when entity mapped cascade = all, want them able delete thing though other objects reference it.

so, need know how can use nhibernate.metadata.iclassmetadata determine if 'entity type' or bag cascade = all. can't seem find after looking few minutes.

any thoughts?

thanks

p.s. here method code (unfinished). idomainobject makes sure passed object has int id property.

public int getreferencecount<t>(t objecttocheck) t : interfaces.idomainobject     {            type objecttype = typeof(t);         string classname = objecttype.name;         idictionary<string, nhibernate.metadata.iclassmetadata> mydictionary = session.sessionfactory.getallclassmetadata();         int referencecount = 0;         string fullclassname = objecttype.fullname;         foreach (var thisclasspair in mydictionary)         {             nhibernate.metadata.iclassmetadata thisclass = thisclasspair.value;             (int = 0; < thisclass.propertytypes.length; i++)             {                  string propertyname;                 if (thisclass.propertytypes[i].name == fullclassname)                 {                     if (thisclass.propertytypes[i] nhibernate.type.manytoonetype || thisclass.propertytypes[i] nhibernate.type.onetoonetype)                     {                         propertyname = thisclass.propertynames[i];                         list<object> results = this.hqlquery<object>("from " + thisclasspair.key + " refclass refclass."+propertyname+".id = '"+objecttocheck.id+"'");                       }                 }               }          }          return 0;     } 

var persister = (nhibernate.persister.entity.abstractentitypersister)thisclass; var cascadestyle = persister.getcascadestyle(i);
