Hello to everybody!
I have what i think is a simple question, but i can't find the answer anywhere else... so i thought i would post a new topic here.
Thing is... when you make a select query with hql like

select customer.Id, customer.Name from Customer customer

it returns an object array.

I just wanted to know if there's any chance to tell NHibernate to bring information about the Property Names along with the data from the table.
For instance, if i want to populate a DropDownList with the result of this query it'd be really usefull to write something like

myDDL.DataTextField = "Id";
myDDL.DataValueField = "Name";
myDDL.DataBind();

but i can't refer to them as such, given that I have a object[]...
I would really love to skip a DataTable population... Ok, I know it doesn't make the performance decrease that much when working with small databases, but i have large ones. And customers love fast systems...

Thanks in advance for answering!!
Cheers,
Alejandro =)

try this

String[] fieldNames = query.getReturnAliases();

Did this work?

I can't find this method anywhere on any of the query implementations, and although it exists on IQueryTranslator, it doesn't appear to be implemented on Hql.Classic.QueryTranslator.
