Linq Provider

[Michael Delaney]

Is there a page somewhere, some documentation etc that outlines what is and what is not supported in the Linq To NHibernate provider???

it seems that lots of stuff is not supported, left outer joins, group by clauses etc??

its frustrating having to come across this on a trial and error basis..

I concur, that would be very helpful.

If you want you can check our test suit to very which clauses are tested.

As far as I can tell, the only documentation ever written for NHibernate since JBoss ditched it is the Getting Started Guide. It's pretty pathetic that LINQ isn't even mentioned in the detailed documentation. Most of the documentation looks like it came from Java Hibernate. There used to be a CHM file about 6+ years ago for the API documentation. That seemed to disappear and it seemed to not be a priority for anyone to put it back.

Haha, reviving a thead from four and a half years ago just to rant for a bit.  :)

That being said, sure there could certainly be more documenation. With regards to the LINQ provider a lot has happened since 2011, in the last couple of releases my experience is that many more queries "just work". And LINQ itself is documented elsewhere.

I guess the key here is what we already know - we have a lousy documentation. And it's everyone's fault... :-(

OK, so, where is the LINQ documentation? I’m assuming you must mean LINQ itself and not the NHibernate provider for it. The least someone could do is add a line to the detailed documentation saying that all you need to do is add a “using NHibernate.Linq” to get it to work. The only thing that is mentioned in the detailed documentation is QueryOver. I don’t even see a link to a zip for the source that matches the last release version.

A simple chapter in the reference doc would be great. The source zip is on sourceforge, maybe we should provide links to the directory there, in addition to the main binary. Though if you want the source for most uses it would be best to fork on github, to make it easier to update.

Both doc and web can be updated with github pull requests. If anyone wants to submit an update here or there, it would be great.
