Implementing NHibernate DetachedCriteria-like

Question

I would like to write something like DetachedCriteria but I don't want to use the ISession or Nhibernate at all...

All I need is the implementations for ICriterion and Expression.

after writing such Criteria -> I would like to generate an Xml Query or AD-Query or maybe even Query on collection (something like the Linq2Objects)

Do you have such sample? Someone wrote such code?

Answer 1

Ayende has an implementation for this.

Answer 2

Why don't you look in source code for NHibernate for implementation of ICriterion and Expression. It is after all an open source project.
