Hi, By reading the details at http://216.121.112.228/browse/NH-1378 looks like this was an old request (1.2.1 days) which has been considered already. How ever (surelly due to time constraints ;)) this is still an open issue, which may be considered now for NH3.
I have a couple of classes implementing a base driver using DbProviderFactory, and I have attached them to the jira issue, so anyone can review them... This one are copied from my own project, but they are simple enought to get an starting point from which a discussion can be started. The point behind this issue (for me) it's mainly mono compatibility, as mono does not implement 'BindingRedirect' support, and as such, the only way of making NH work it's by placing the ado.net provider's assembly at bin folder, which in some deployments it's far from perfect. As such, if having alternate driver implementations using Reflection (current one) and DbProviderFactory (the alternate one) looks great for Fabio & co, I can provide fully-functional patches against trunk, just letme know about it.. ;) Saludos. Att. Pablo
