What's the deal with PrimitiveType in NHibernate?
I just noticed someone using the PrimitiveType class. It seems like an alternative to IUserType, but I can't find any documentation for it. What is it for?
Solution
PrimitiveType is a base class of primitive type implementations in NHibernate. It is not a IUserType, it is an IType. To me it seems not to be intended to be inherited outside of NHibernate, at least not for regular stuff. On the other side, it seems to be more powerful and it is also a public class. However, if you can solve your problem with a regular IUserType, I would recommend to use that.
All types in NH implement IType. The PrimitiveType is on the same level as the CustomType, which wraps an IUserType. So the IUserType is not an IType directly.
