Create Custom Criterion in NHibernate?
- by vbullinger
I'm still a bit of a n00b when it comes to NHibernate. Let's say I have the following:
var myCriteria = this.Session.CreateCriteria(typeof(SomeModel)).Add(Restrictions.Eq("SomeProperty", someValue);
Then, let's say I want to add criteria in a way that's reusable. Meaning, I want to make a custom criterion. I'm seeing very, very little information online on this. Specifically, I'd like to turn the following:
var myCriteria = this.Session.CreateCriteria(typeof(SomeModel))
.Add(Restrictions.Eq("SomeProperty", someValue)
.CreateAlias("SomeClass", "alias", JoinType.LeftOuterJoin)
.Add(Restrictions.Eq("alias.SomeOtherProperty", someOtherValue));
Into the following:
var myCriteria = this.Session.CreateCriteria(typeof(SomeModel))
.Add(Restrictions.Eq("SomeProperty", someValue)
.Add(this.GetAliasCriterion());
Thus extracting .CreateAlias("SomeClass", "alias", JoinType.LeftOuterJoin).Add(Restrictions.Eq("alias.SomeOtherProperty", someOtherValue)); into a method.
Is this possible? How does this work?
