Question

How to configure Fluent NHibernate to output queries to Trace or Debug instead of Console? I\'m using MsSqlConfiguration.MsSql2008.ShowSql() but it has no param

Answer 1

I have not tried this with SQL Server, but with SQLite, the following code will show generated SQL in the Output window (Debug menu -> Windows -> Output, in VS2008).

The "Show output from:" combo box in the Output window should be set to "Debug" - VS2008 did that for me automatically.

            sessionFactory = Fluently.Configure()
                .Database(SQLiteConfiguration.Standard
                            .UsingFile(DbFile)
                            // Display generated SQL in Output window
                            .ShowSql()
                          )
                .Mappings(m => m.AutoMappings.Add( GetAutoPersistenceModel() ))
                .BuildSessionFactory()
                ;

A word of warning - turning this on can slow down execution considerably.
