Generic List for NHibernate

A Generic method that takes GenericList as an argument and fill it with the data of type you pass as . Converts a non-typed collection into a strongly typed collection. This will fail if
the non-typed collection contains anything that cannot be casted to type of T.

The sample method uses CSLA framework with Database layer as NHibernate.
You can get CSLA from http://www.lhotka.net/ where as its NHibernate addon is available at http://www.codeplex.com/ under CSLA Contributions.

Here's the code you are looking for

public static void FillList(out List list)
{
  list = null;
  // Get an NHibernate session factory where DatabaseKey = connectionstring
  ISessionFactory sessionFactory = Csla.NHibernate.Cfg.GetSessionFactory(DatabaseKey);

  // Open an NHibernate session from the factory
  using (ISession session = sessionFactory.OpenSession())
  {
      // Begin a transaction on the session
      using (ITransaction transaction = session.BeginTransaction())
      {
        try
        {
           
  System.Collections.IList listOfObjects = session.CreateCriteria(typeof(T)).List();
  T[] temp = new T[listOfObjects.Count];
  listOfObjects.CopyTo(temp, 0);
  list = new List(temp);
        }
       catch (HibernateException)
        {
             if (null != transaction)
             {
                 transaction.Rollback();
             }
        }
     }
  }
}
