Well... What I said in the first response is that nobody said that you must use the build-in AliasToBeanResultTransformer. You can create your own implementation and there you can use your Ctor with parameters. The default AliasToBeanResultTransformer need a default parameter-less Ctor.
NH3.0, may be, we can provide another build-in ResultTransformer for anonymous classes. The other solution, for your problem is: select new YourDTO(p.Name, p.Surname) from Person p 2009/3/12 TigerShark <[email protected]> > > I did read it, but that's not my point.
