NHibernate 3.0 goodness

As the release of Entity Framework 4.0 is getting closer, it's time to have a look at the competition. After the release of NHibernate 2.1(.1), the NHibernate team is working on the next big release based on the .NET 3.5 framework.

A selection of some of the upcoming features in NHibernate 3.0:

  • QueryOver: Allows the usage of ICriteria in a type safe way.
   1:  IList<Student> students =  session.QueryOver<Student>()  
   2:  .Where(s => s.Name == "Fabio")
   3:  .And(s => s.StudentNumber > 100) 
   4:  .List();


  • New Linq provider: A new linq provider is coming up fully based on AST. This will replace the current NHibernate.Linq 1.0 project.
  • Strongly typed configuration for multiple parts of NHibernate(caching, sessionfactory,...)
  • Better WCF integration for session management
  • ...


I think we'll have a very interesting future in ORM land...

Help! I accidently enabled HSTS–on localhost

I ran into an issue after accidently enabling HSTS for a website on localhost. This was not an issue for the original website that was running in IIS and had a certificate configured. But when I tried to run an Angular app a little bit later on http://localhost:4200 the browser redirected me immediately to https://localhost . Whoops! That was not what I wanted in this case. To fix it, you need to go the network settings of your browser, there are available at: chrome://net-internals/#hsts edge://net-internals/#hsts brave://net-internals/#hsts Enter ‘localhost’ in the domain textbox under the Delete domain security policies section and hit Delete . That should do the trick…
