In NHibernate 3.0 Cookbook, there is a sample implementation for a
base Entity type. The equals is implemented like this:

public abstract class Entity<TId>
{
  public virtual TId Id { get; protected set; }

  public override bool Equals(object obj)
  {
    return Equals(obj as Entity<TId>);
  }

  private static bool IsTransient(Entity<TId> obj)
  {
     return obj != null && Equals(obj.Id, default(TId));
  }

  private Type GetUnproxiedType()
  {
     return GetType();
  }

  public virtual bool Equals(Entity<TId> other)
  {
    if (other == null) return false;
    if (ReferenceEquals(this, other)) return true;

    if (!IsTransient(this) && !IsTransient(this) && Equals(Id,
other.Id))
    {
      var otherType = other.GetUnproxiedType();
      var thisType = GetUnproxiedType();
      return thisType.IsAssignableFrom(otherType) ||
         otherType.IsAssignableFrom(thisType);
    }
    return false;
  }
}

The reason for the GetUnproxiedType() method is this: There is an
abstract base class Product, a concrete class Book which inherits from
Product and a dynamic proxy class ProductProxy used by NHibernate for
lazy loading. If a ProductProxy representing a Book and a concrete
Book have the same Ids, they should be treated as equal. However I
don't really see why calling GetType() on a ProductProxy instance
should return Product in this case, and how it helps. Any ideas?
