Hi all,

Trying to setup my Configuration but can't get it to look outside the current .exe (assembly).

In chapter 2 we see:

"2.1. Programmatic Configuration
An instance of NHibernate.Cfg.Configuration represents an entire set of mappings of an application's .NET types to a SQL database. The Configuration is used to build a (immutable) ISessionFactory. The mappings are compiled from various XML mapping files.

You may obtain a Configuration instance by instantiating it directly. Heres an example of setting up a datastore from mappings defined in two XML configuration files (in the same folder as the exe):

Configuration cfg = new Configuration()
.AddXmlFile("Item.hbm.xml")
.AddXmlFile("Bid.hbm.xml");
...
"

I tried to fully qualify the xml file by providing a hardcoded path, but it still tries to search in the current .exe path.

Does anyone know how to get .AddXmlFile() to look outside its current .exe path?

Or is this how its supposed to work (meaning i can't access an hbm.xml outside of the currently running .exe's path)?

Thanks,
Tom

Hi,

You have do "say" to NHibernate config where are your mapping files...
do this before call cfg.AddXML:




I hope this can help you
