I'm getting error about not having 'Castle.ActiveRecord' - but I'm generating NHibernate mappings.

Do I have to have this assembly to use AW?

Thanks

@Steve,

Yes. Since AR knows how to generate hbm.xml's better than anything else, I'm using it instead of my own routines. In the generic properties of the .actiw file (when you click on a white-space area on the designer), you should set the path to folder where Ar resides. Alternatively, it should find the one in the GAC if you have one but I'm not sure.

Your final class output won't have any AR attributes or anything related to it (you might have to instruct it to not use a base class, though), AR will be run in memory and you'll get the result.

Check http://altinoren.com/PermaLink,guid,7043a882-8325-4e48-b956-54868219297c.aspx

Maybe I should add a check for this situation.

Hello Gokhan,

I wonder if you might help me with the problem I am having with generating hbm.xml files using ActiveWriter. I can generate the files successfully if I drag two tables from Server Explorer and press save. But when I add any relationship to these using the toolbox and press save then I get the following error.

I am using ActiveWriter 4 in visual studio 2005 and ActiveRecord built from trunk sources. Any suggestions you have would be greatly appreciated.
