Querying with NHibernate

Question

I am new to NHibernate and I am trying to learn how to query my data.

Below is the configuration xml. Only the recipe is shown.

I want to be able to query recipe

Answer 1

Both Stefan's and Sathish's examples concatenate % operators into the SQL. This is unnecesary as Restrictions.Like (nhib 2.0+) and Expression.Like (before v2.0) have 3 parameter versions with a MatchMode.

Disjunction keywordsCriteria = Restrictions.Disjunction();
foreach (var keyword in keywords)
{
    keywordsCriteria.Add(Restrictions.Like("i.IngredientName", keyword, MatchMode.Anywhere));
    keywordsCriteria.Add(Restrictions.Like("r.RecipeTitle", keyword, MatchMode.Anywhere));
}

Full text queries are also available with NHibernate Search. See Ayende's example for more details.
