Gunnar,

Thanks for your help so far.  I originally had a UDF, so I've
converted back to the UDF.  I've got an extension method for
ResultObject called GetSearchRank, which takes the same parameters as
the UDF in addition the "this" parameter and returns -1 (temporarily
for testing).  I've created a dialect that is a subclass of
MsSql2008Dialect, an HQL generator that is a subclass of
BaseHqlGeneratorForMethod, and an HQL generators registry that is a
subclass of another HQL generators registry common to all of our
projects (all it does it add the "trim" function for strings.)

When I try to run the code, the generator registry is getting built,
and execution goes to the BuildHql gets called (I've not yet
implemented it) when I do Session.Query<ResultObject>().OrderBy(ro =>
ro.GetSearchRank("foo", "bar")), but when I do
Session.Query<ResultObject>().Select(ro => ro.GetSearchRank("foo",
"bar")), I just get a queryable full of -1.

How can I get NHibernate to translate the method call to SQL instead
of executing it on the .NET side?

Thanks!

    Don
