I have following code:

                {
                    var orders = session.CreateCriteria(typeof(ProductOrder))
                        .List<ProductOrder>();

                    foreach (var item in orders)
                    {
                        Console.WriteLine(item.OrderItems.First().Quantity);
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

I tried many variations to get it working but i get an error saying No persister for: SimpleFNH.Entities.ProductOrder

Can someone help me get it working? I wanted to create a simple program which will set a pattern for my bigger project but it is taking quite a lot of time than expected. It would be rally helpful if you can explain in simple terms on any template/pattern that i can use to get fluent nHibernate working.

The above code uses auto mapping, which i tried after i tried with fluent mapping.
