I have an Nhibernate object that has the properties Firstname and Surname, and I'd like to be able to query on both fields (Firstname + " " + Surname); e.g. If the search term is "John Doe", this will be matched when John and Doe are in seperate fields.
How can I achieve that?
Thanks!
So I ended up going with:
.Add(Restrictions.Like(Projections.SqlFunction("concat",
NHibernateUtil.String,
Projections.Property("Firstname"),
Projections.Constant(" "),
Projections.Property("Surname")),
searchString, MatchMode.Anywhere))
Which seems to work as I need it to.
string firstName = "John";
string lastName = "Doe";
for example, using LINQ:
Session.Query<User>()
.Where(u => u.FirstName == firstName || u.Surname == lastName)
.ToList();
you could do it with QueryOver, which looks almost the same:
Session.QueryOver<User>()
.Where(u => u.FirstName == firstName || u.Surname == lastName)
.List();
UPDATE:
I missed the point of the question.
what about this:
var name = "John Doe";
Session.Query<User>()
.Where(u => name.Contains(u.FirstName) || name.Contains(u.Surname))
.ToList();
