Hibernate version:1.2.1
VS.NET 2005 ASP.NET

Hello I am a newbie on NHibernate.
I want to reproduce the simple example in the documentation but I get an error: TypeInitialization exception and err msg:
Could not load file or assembly 'Website3' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified

The exception is thrown on this line
ISession session = NHibernateHelper.GetCurrentSession();

My web.config has the following section and I have set mapping assembly to the name of my project: Website3

Code:

<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=pubs;Integrated Security=SSPI</property>
         <mapping assembly="Website3"/>
      </session-factory>

I am doing something fundamentally wrong here but what?

The error you are reporting is definitely related to some missing part. You definitely need to check whether all assemblies are in the right place. IMO this error has nothing to do with NH.
