NHibernate.Linq LIKE

Question

How can I produce this query using NHibernate.Linq?

WHERE this_.Name LIKE @p0; @p0 = \'test\'  // Notice NO % wild card

Note, this is not Linq

I believe this is what you are looking for:

var theaters = from theater in Session.Linq() 
               where theater.Name.Contains("test") 
               select theater;

According to my tests it generates an SQL 'LIKE' statement: "... WHERE theater.Name LIKE %test%"

which is exactly the output of the criteria snippet you have provided.
