Hi,

Is it possible to change namespaces entities and value types get generated in when using Fluent nHibernate and classes preset? I would like them to all go into a single namespace like *.Model instead of being split into *.Model.EntityClasses *.Model.ValueTypes. I know how to modify the preset to get rid of the folders but haven't found a way to modify namespaces.

You may edit the templates, using Template Editor built-in inside the Designer.

But may I ask why do you want to combine these under the same namespace?

Robert,

The namespaces are (unfortunately) hard-coded in the templates, so editing these is your only option.

I've started a topic about the hard-coding a couple of months ago (may '10 ) here: http://www.llblgen.com/TinyForum/Messages.aspx?ThreadID=17930

The namespaces are hardcoded so other code knows where the entity classes / value types are located. We can add settings for that, but it's not of a high priority at the moment. We chose to separate them in their own namespaces to make things be grouped together better, as valuetype classes are different things than entity classes.

Thanks for all your replies. I was afraid the only way to go is to modify the templates - something I will probably choose not to do just to get the namespaces I want.

The reason I want both value types and entities them in the same namespace is really a matter of personal preferences more than anything else. I never used distinct namespaces when hand coding and was wondering if I could keep it this way. I don't really like EntityClasses or ValueTypes - too much details IMO - I prefer to have it all in a *.Model namespace (one less using ).

All in all not a big drawback and I'm still happy with NHibernate support so far, so I guess I'll just have to get used to it.

I've added a workitem (low priority) for 3.2, so we'll look at it then and decide whether we'll add the ability to set this in the designer.
