Is possible that criteria List method return a List instead an IList??

I have the following code to retrieve the list, but after retrieve in the UI layer I want to use Find methods over the list, but that method belongs to List class and not to IList.

IList<MyClass> list = criteria.List<MyClass>();


Any recommendation?

NHibernate only returns interfaces to collections: IList, ISet, IDictionary. This is done because the actual implementations returned from NHibernate may change depending on your mapping files etc. I ran into the same problem when I wanted to run a sort on an IList (even though I probably should have done this on the database side). I ended up creating a copy of the IList that NHibernate returned:

I thought I read somewhare that there was a way to configure Nhibernate, through the mapping files, to use a concrete implementation of a List. Was I dreaming this or is this capability actually out there?
