Seems fair to me.
@PaulYoder, if you can't wait for the rewrite you could add your own extension method like so: public static class FluentNHExtensions { public static IProperty ColumnNames(this IProperty property, params string[] columnNames) { property.ColumnNames.Clear(); foreach(var name in columnNames) { property.ColumnNames.Add(name); } return property; } } I'm not really sure why adding more than one column to the collections in a method would affect the conventions though From: fluent-nhibernate@googlegroups.com [mailto:fluent-nhibern...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of James Gregory Sent: 30 March 2009 17:29 To: fluent-nhibernate@googlegroups.com Subject: [fluent-nhib] Re: Replacement for TheColumnNameIs in PropertyMap I think the way to go for this is to follow Jon's suggestion of having a single parameter method that can be used for if there's only one column, and the (currently available) collection property for use when you need to have more than one column, or if you need to modify or interrogate the collection at convention time. Paul and myself have already touched on how we can clean up the APIs a bit so they're not being polluted (and complicated) by the presence of methods and properties that are only of use for the conventions, and things like this will be the subject of cleanup. Until we get to the point where we can clean it up, there are going to be some areas that are more complicated than may be necessary. You guys are just going to have to get along until that time.

So instead of Map(x => x.BusinessName).ColumnNames(c => { c.AddColumn("FirmCol1"); c.AddColumn("FirmCol2"); } it could be Map(x => x.BusinessName).ColumnNames("FirmCol1", "FirmCol2"); Paul On Sat, Mar 28, 2009 at 6:00 PM, Paul Batum <paul.ba...@gmail.com> wrote: Hi Lars, It looks like its been changed to support multiple columns. For now, this should work: Map(x => x.BusinessName).ColumnNames.Add("FirmName") I'm not sure if I like this change. James, did you consider achieving this with two methods, one that takes a string and another that takes a lambda with which you can specify multiple columns? I'm thinking something like: Map(x => x.BusinessName).ColumnName("FirmName"); and Map(x => x.BusinessName).ColumnNames(c => { c.AddColumn("FirmCol1"); c.AddColumn("FirmCol2"); } Thoughts?

The Map statement is: Map(x => x.BusinessName).TheColumnNameIs("FirmName"); But this no longer works.
