Newbie Question:

More of a Visual Studio question than hibernate but related. I'm going through the example in Chapter 3 of the docs.

Configuration cfg = new Configuration().AddAssembly( "NHibernate.Auction" );

If a tool like Visual Studio .NET or NAnt is used to build the assembly, then make sure that the .hbm.xml files are compiled into the assembly as Embedded Resources.

How do I add my .hbm.xml files as embedded resources? Where do I put my .hbm.xml files. This is a Visual C# console application.

Where one puts the mapping files (hbm.xml files) is mostly a preference thing. I personally like to put it with my data access project ("project" in Visual Studio's sense); I won't bore you with my rationale and stuff. You can put them in which ever project you choose.

To embed the mapping file, go to the Solution Explorer, for each hbm.xml files, highlight it and press F4, then in the "Properties" window, change the "Build Action" property from "Content" to "Embedded Resource".
