how to user year() and month() functions in NH Criteria API?

Question

I need to use year() and month() functions in Criteria API to be able to express a business filter constrain. Expressions like

cri.Add(Expression.Ge(\"year(

It's possible to achieve this using Projections.SQLFunction. Working solution:

ISQLFunction sqlAdd = new VarArgsSQLFunction("(", "+", ")");
ISQLFunction sqlMultiply = new VarArgsSQLFunction("(", "*", ")");

var ym = Year.Value * 100 + Month.Value;
var dateFromMonthProj = Projections.SqlFunction("month", NHibernateUtil.Int32, Projections.Property("PurchaseDuration.DateFrom"));
var dateFromYearProj = Projections.SqlFunction("year", NHibernateUtil.Int32, Projections.Property("PurchaseDuration.DateFrom"));
var dateToMonthProj = Projections.SqlFunction("month", NHibernateUtil.Int32, Projections.Property("PurchaseDuration.DateTo"));
var dateToYearProj = Projections.SqlFunction("year", NHibernateUtil.Int32, Projections.Property("PurchaseDuration.DateTo"));
var calculatedYMFrom = Projections.SqlFunction(sqlAdd, NHibernateUtil.Int32, Projections.SqlFunction(sqlMultiply, NHibernateUtil.Int32, dateFromYearProj, Projections.Constant(100)), dateFromMonthProj);
var calculatedYMTo = Projections.SqlFunction(sqlAdd, NHibernateUtil.Int32, Projections.SqlFunction(sqlMultiply, NHibernateUtil.Int32, dateToYearProj, Projections.Constant(100)), dateToMonthProj);
cri.Add(Restrictions.Le(calculatedYMFrom, ym));
cri.Add(Restrictions.Ge(calculatedYMTo, ym));
