Does any one know of any real simple examples of NHibernate in VB? I've been looking around and I only see them in C#. I can rewrite the code in VB that's not a big deal (ex Java Developer) but I keep running into problems and it would be nice to see an example in VB.

I'm mainly having problems adding the Assembly to the Config. I'm trying to use this example and keep getting stuck. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm using Hibernate 1.0.1 with SQL Server, .net framework 1.1.4. and VS .net 2003

I'm currently getting the following error:

File or assembly name NHibernate.Examples, or one of its dependencies, was not found.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Exception Details: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: File or assembly name NHibernate.Examples, or one of its dependencies, was not found.


I've changed the "Build Action" on the Users.hbm.xml file to "Embedded Resource" and rebuilt several times.


TIA,
Terry

Could your assembly have a different name? Can you post your mappings and config? It's hard to tell whether it is an error in the mappings, the config, or the assembly name.

k-dub here they are. Thanks for looking at this.

Snip from aspx page
===============================

Dim cfg As New Configuration
cfg.AddAssembly("NHibernate.Examples")
Dim factory As ISessionFactory = cfg.BuildSessionFactory()
Dim session As ISession = factory.OpenSession()
Dim transaction As ITransaction = session.BeginTransaction()

The classes, xml, config and aspx are in a single project in VS.
