I am getting this error:

The dialect was not set. Set the property hibernate.dialect.

I have set the dialect in web.config:

<hibernate-configuration xmlns="urn:nhibernate-configuration-2.2">
<session-factory>
<property name="dialect">NHibernate.Dialect.MsSql2000Dialect</property>
<property name="connection.provider">NHibernate.Connection.DriverConnectionProvider</property>
<property name="connection.connection_string">Server=(local);Database=School;Trusted_Connection=true</property>

<mapping assembly="DriverWebApp" />
</session-factory>
</hibernate-configuration>

Any help please!

I have to say that the documentation is very poor. I downloaded the documentation and in the documentation they are referring to the <property> tags inside the web.config. But those tags are not being read from the server side code. So, I replaced them with the nhibernate <add and key tags and it worked.

Where does the documentation refer to <property> tags in web.config?

The following code has been taken from the Compiled Documentation file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
<!-- Add this element -->
<configSections>
<section
name="hibernate-configuration"
type="NHibernate.Cfg.ConfigurationSectionHandler, NHibernate"
/>
</configSections>

<!-- Add this element -->
<hibernate-configuration xmlns="urn:nhibernate-configuration-2.2">
<session-factory>
<property name="dialect">NHibernate.Dialect.MsSql2000Dialect</property>
<property name="connection.provider">NHibernate.Connection.DriverConnectionProvider</property>
<property name="connection.connection_string">Server=(local);initial catalog=quickstart;Integrated Security=SSPI</property>

<mapping assembly="QuickStart" />
</session-factory>
</hibernate-configuration>

<!-- Leave the system.web section unchanged -->
<system.web>
...
</system.web>
</configuration>

Yes, and this works. You probably didn't set the configuration section handler in your web.config.

Or you didn't call Configuration.Configure().

Also, what does my class "Customer" properties have to be virtual and every method has to be virtual?
