Hibernate version: 1.02

Name and version of the database you are using: SQL Server 2000

I'm trying to save a C# string type to a SQL Server Text field and am being truncated to 4000 characters every time an update occurs. I've found online that to get around this, a property attribute needs to be set on the C# property containing the data. This is an example of the code I'm looking at...

http://wiki.castleproject.org/index.php/ActiveRecord:Troubleshooting#Text_Columns_are_truncated_in_Sql_Server

I've tried the following variations of this property and each time I get a comple error stating ['Property' is not an attribute class.]

[Property(ColumnType="StringClob")]
[NHibernate.Mapping.Property(ColumnType="StringClob")]

I've also added various "using" statements in the object with no luck either which include the following...

using NHibernate.Property;
using NHibernate.Mapping;
using NHibernate.Metadata;
using NHibernate.Util;
using NHibernate.Cfg;

So my question is... What do I need to do in order for the following chunk of code to compile?



Thanks,

Try this for a change:

I tried that and it didn't work. The following line of code does not have an Attributes namespace and therefore errors out:



Additionally, the compiler is still flagging the Property attribute as not being found:



The few examples I've seen online all show the fix in the format I originally posted. However, the compiler does not like the Property attribute, no matter which assembly I put in the "using" statement.

I've also used .Net Reflector to look for the Attribute class (which a class must inherit in order for it to be an attribute of a method, class, etc.) No where in the NHibernate.dll (Version 1.0.2.0) is the Attribute class referenced. So this tells me either the example code on the Internet was never tested or this class existed in an older version of NHibernate.

So is there even an work around for this bug?

Thanks,

Kyle

Well that's because NHibernate.Mapping.Property is not an attribute class... You probably meant something like NHibernate.Mapping.Attributes.Property.

Just to make the Segei's response more clear. NHibernate.Mapping.Attributes is a different assembly and that's why it can be accesed from the NHibernate namespace.

The assembly is contained in the Nhibernate Contrib package and must be referenced in the project to make the classes available.

So to solve the problem download the NHibernate Contrib, the package must have the same version of the NHibernate assembly so be careful.

I hope this helps
