C# – NHibernate Fluent Automapping Across DLLs

https://www.hibernate.org/hib_docs/nhibernate/html/inheritance.html

Its a standard Nhibernate pattern. I'm trying to do the same thing

I had this exact same issue a few weeks back, with floats instead of strings.

It turns out that Automapping does not work with primitive types.

Edit - This is no longer true - the FNH team has fixed the problem

There's a lot of sample code in the accepted answer to my question, but the key point is to add an override for your lists of primitive types ("RawY" in the example below):

public class DlsAppOverlordExportRunData
{
    public virtual int Id { get; set; }
    // Note: List<float> needs overrides in order to be mapped by NHibernate.
    // See class DlsAppOverlordExportRunDataMap.
    public virtual IList<float> RawY { get; set; }
}


// Must be in different namespace from DlsAppOverlordExportRunData!!!
public class DlsAppOverlordExportRunDataMap : IAutoMappingOverride<DlsAppOverlordExportRunData>
{
    public void Override(AutoMapping<DlsAppOverlordExportRunData> mapping)
    {
        // Creates table called "RawY", with primary key
        // "DlsAppOverlordExportRunData_Id", and numeric column "Value"
        mapping.HasMany(x => x.RawY)
               .Element("Value");
    }
}

I would expect the same approach to work with ILists of strings.
