Nhibernate - Getting Exception executing SQL Query

I am executing a SQL Query using Nhibernate, below is the code in which I use for this:

 public ArrayList getDocumentsForApproval(string ReleaseId)
    {
        string query = string.Format("SELECT distinct doc.Id, doc.Name as Doc, doc.url as url, suser.Name as Author, ds.name, CONVERT(VARCHAR(11), doc.DateEntered, 101) as DateEntered FROM dbo.Documents doc INNER JOIN DevelopmentSteps ds ON doc.TypeId = ds.Id INNER JOIN DocumentTrackingItems dti ON doc.Id = dti.DocumentId INNER JOIN TrackingItems ti ON dti.ItemStepId = ti.Id INNER JOIN dbo.Releases rl ON ti.ReleaseId =  rl.BugTrackerName left outer join (select * from users) as suser on doc.AuthorUserid = suser.Id WHERE doc.DateEntered IS NOT NULL AND doc.DateApproved IS NULL AND rl.ID = '{0}'", ReleaseId);
        ISession session = NHibernateHelper.GetCurrentSession();
        ArrayList document =(ArrayList) session.CreateSQLQuery(query).List();
        return document;
    }

The error information I receive is as follows:

**Exception Details:**
NHibernate.QueryException: Return types of SQL query were not specified [SELECT      distinct doc.Id, doc.Name as Doc, doc.url as url, suser.Name as Author, ds.name, CONVERT(VARCHAR(11), doc.DateEntered, 101)

What could be the issue? ---- Thanks

The secret is to use:

CreateSQLQuery("Your query with alias").AddScalar(...)

In AddScalar you have to define your NH types for output.

In most cases you should use entity objects instead of custom queries. If you really need a custom query, the following example might be useful

    public IEnumerable<GeoAreaIdAndCode> ReadAllGssCodes()
    {
        var query = "select GeoAreaID,Code from GeoAreaAlternativeCode where AlternativeCodeType=" + (int)GeoAreaAlternativeCodeType.GssCode;
        var result = Owner.Session.CreateSQLQuery(query)
                                .AddScalar("GeoAreaID",NHibernateUtil.Int32)
                                .AddScalar("Code",NHibernateUtil.String)
                                .SetResultTransformer(Transformers.AliasToBean(typeof (GeoAreaIdAndCode)))
                                .List<GeoAreaIdAndCode>();

        return result;
    }

    public class GeoAreaIdAndCode
    {
        public int GeoAreaID { get; set; }
        public string Code { get; set; }
    }

You are fundamentally misunderstanding NHibernate. NHibernate is not like the TypeDataSource classes that return you DataSets/DataTables that aren't real business objects.

NHibernate is meant to work with fully owned objects so you would have something similar to

Public Class Document
{

    public virtual decimal Id { get; set; }
    public virtual string Name { get; set; }
    public virtual DateTime DateEntered { get; set; }
    ... so forth  
}

Then you need to create a mapping file either manually or by code generation for raw HBM mappings or use a tool on top of NH to build mappings programmatically with FluentNHibernate or ConfORM.

You need to learn the basics of NHibernate before attempting to query this is a decent introductory post: http://www.fincher.org/tips/Languages/NHibernate.shtml

And then for querying you can use http://www.castleproject.org/ActiveRecord/documentation/v1rc1/usersguide/hql.html for reference.
