I wrote a query like follow:
ICriteria crit = session.CreateCriteria(typeof(User));
I want to select the User.Name field, not the User object, How can I write the code?
I know I can write code like this
IList list = session.CreateQuery("select Name from User").List()
But in this situation I must use ICriteria.

Hi,

Short answer: no. ICriteria can only return a list (or unique result) of the type you tell it to return. So you'll have to do some post processing if using IQuery is no option.
