Hi all,
I've come to nHibernate from my experience with Hibernate in the Java side, but a problem has just arised at the begining.
I currently use Visual Web Developer to make an application and I have no way to set the build action for the mapping file to Embedded Resource. I have read I can work around it by adding the xml directly:



With this code, I get this error:

Could not load type 'NHibernateFirst.Core.Domain.Client, NHibernate, Version=1.0.2.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=154fdcb44c4484fc', check that type and assembly names are correct

I suposse nHibernate tries to locate client class into an assembly called NHibernate (the default?). So my question is if there is any way to solve it in VWD, or how to make an assembly containing the mapping and domain classes files.

Thanks very much

It appears that NHibernate is correctly loading your mapping file. Make sure that your class names in the mapping file are fully qualified:

<class name="MyNamespace.MyClass, MyAssemblyName" ...>

Yes, I've read nHibernate needs classes to be fully qualified in the mapping file. Nevertheless, since I use Visual Web Developer I have no idea about what is the name of the resulting assembly.

Thnks very much

Other solution you can build your domain object using C#/VB Express Edition and import in bin folder.

From my experiance before i'm also having the same problem when try to execute nHibernate in Visual Web Developer.

Hi Tihor,

Your problem is what I've experienced.

What I've done to create the assembly:

So, download VC#/VB express (or whatever). Build a Class Project which has the Persistent Class file as well as the hbm file. You will find an option to build as Embedded Resource on double-click the hbm file.
...include refer to NHibernate.dll and anything needed.

The project properties default Assembly name to project name and you may edit as necessary?


Build it. You have a dll file

Done. Use Visual Web Developer, add the dll file to the Bin folder and a reference will be linked to the project automatically.


ok. But I'm not done. I've hit another problem. Pls refer to my other post tonite if you want.
