An IIdentifierGenerator that indicates to the ISession that identity (ie. identity/autoincrement column) key generation should be used.

Namespace: NHibernate.Id
Assembly: NHibernate (in NHibernate.dll) Version: 3.2.0.4000 (3.2.0.4000)

Syntax

C#
public class IdentityGenerator : AbstractPostInsertGenerator

Visual Basic
Public Class IdentityGenerator _ Inherits AbstractPostInsertGenerator

Visual C++
public ref class IdentityGenerator : public AbstractPostInsertGenerator

Remarks

This id generation strategy is specified in the mapping file as

CopyC#

<generator class="identity" />

or if the database natively supports identity columns

CopyC#

<generator class="native" />

This indicates to NHibernate that the database generates the id when the entity is inserted.
