I am not sure about managing the isession lifestyle with the container, what happens when you inject isession on a singleton service like a repository? Or are you going to use another artifact with lifestyle = PerWebRequest, lets say a ISessionProvider or something like that which act as a typed factory?

The tutorial has been great up to this point. However, I think I have an NHibernate problem that I can't figure out...

I have a connectionstring of

  <connectionStrings>
    <add name="ApplicationServices"
         connectionString="Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=ToBeSeenDB;Integrated Security=True"
         providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
  </connectionStrings>

I know the connection string is OK, because I can connect to the ToBeSeenDB database via the Database Explorer.

However, inside the HomeController.cs, the following line always returns zero (0), when I know there is one row in the Event table:

  ViewBag.EventCount = session.QueryOver<Event>().RowCount();

I can't seem to diagnose why I am getting nothing back. I'm not sure this is a Windsor problem or an NHibernate problem. I should reiterate, that I have been following this tutorial one step at a time, so I haven't just downloaded all the code from github. However, All the essential parts are there and the MVC app works and generates a response for the browser; I simply get a rowcount of zero!

I would really appreciate any help and I have been trying to diagnose this problem!

are there any examples available that use entity framework and its dbcontext instead of NHibernate ? Im new to DI and am trying to follow the mvc3 tutorial but it uses nhibernate and Im using entity framework. Im completely stuck here and dont know how to proceed, can anyone provide some examples ?
