Hi There,
Im a fairy new user to nHibernate so please forgive any rookie mistakes....

Basiacally Im looking to create the notion of custom fields against various entities in my application, so end users can add their own field definitions. I spent a long time searching but this isn't as common as I'd expected.

There is a fantastic article which describes this in java/hibernate here:

http://www.infoq.com/articles/hibernate-custom-fields

but my java is non existent and i spent the best part of yesterday struggling to convert it to c#.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
kmoo01

For those you are interested I managed to translate this article from java to c# and get a working example (see below), but unfortunately it wasn't what I was looking for after all.

If anyone has implemented the idea of "custom Fields" or "dynamic fields" in a tidy way using nhibernate, where the end user can their own data to existing entities, allowing them to be searchable and bind-able, please let me know

In the mean time I'm gonna carry on looking and try and come up with an elegant solution to a nasty problem :-)
