Here's what I've learnt: * Use CriteriaQueries when you are letting user build queries dynamically. Actually you have other options now, with Linq to NHibernate you can do this with Specification Design Pattern. * Use named queries for best performance. They will be initialized by NHibernate. You can use them for frequent querying. You will use Hibernate Query Language for this. * Use Linq to NHibernate if you prefer type-safe query code. You can also use L2Nh to implement the Specification Design Pattern. I'm not sure when to use QueryOver. I keep forgetting which means it is not that interesting to me :-) Good luck! P.S. For more about Specifications you can see this post: http://huyrua.wordpress.com/2010/08/25/specification-pattern-in-entity-framework-4-revisited/ Daniel -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nhusers" group.
