NHibernate.Linq LIKE

Question

How can I produce this query using NHibernate.Linq?

WHERE this_.Name LIKE @p0; @p0 = \'test\'  // Notice NO % wild card

Note, this is not Linq

Answer 1

With NH 4 (and probably a bit earlier), a built-in Like string extension is available within NHibernate.Linq namespace: Like(this string matchExpression, string sqlLikePattern). (It is defined on NHibernate.Linq.SqlMethods extension class.)

using NHibernate.Linq;
...
session.Query()
    .Where(t => t.Name.Like("test"));
