eagerly load an entity object graph in nhibernate

Question

I am looking for a way to get the entire object graph back from one of my nhibernate persisted entities. Is there a way to turn off lazy loading in a sessionfactory,session or query?

I have tried setting the FetchMode but it does not eagerly load the entity and child collections.

I just need this for one object to export it out of the database.

You can use CreateMultiQuery or CreateMultiCriteria and keep the default behavior to lazy loading in your mapping.
