« LINQ to SQL and IQueryable Tales | Main | Ordering By an Aggregate in MySQL »
Although I'm not finished the application that I'm building with Ruby on Rails, I've decided that next up on my plate for new'ish technology is MonoRail.  Afterall, all the cool kids who aren't quite cool enough to be doing Rails seem to be going crazy for MonoRail.  As a former web guy I've done a lot of WebForms development, so its time that I see what all the hype is surrounding MonoRail.  I was originally going to build the business/data layer with LINQ to SQL, but I think I'm instead going to go all Castle and use ActiveRecord along with Ayende's NHibernate Query Generator

Unfortunately, I'm not smart enough to be able to figure out how the heck to get the MonoRail project templates to show up in VS.NET.  I'm guessing they're not necessary, but for a MonoRail newbie they seem like they'd be useful.  I'm planning on building things from the trunk, as such I tried following these instructions on Using the Trunk.  Can anyone offer any advice on how I might get the project templates working?  Should I give up and just go with the very old MSI that's available?

UPDATE: It helps if you actually read the documentation.  Running the RC2 installer and then following the necessary steps in Using the Trunk worked perfectly.

I think that doc mention that the MSI installed is a prerequisite. It goes on building the latest code (bleeding edge) and updating the references on the registry so the wizard can use the latest code templates.

If it still not working for you, please hit us on the castle-devel mailing list.

Ah, somehow I overlooked that. I'll give it a shot now. Thanks for the quick reply.

Cool! We are digging into that here, now. Keep me posted on your experience. So far, we are digging it, but we are still "noobs!"

P.S. Have you looked at Ayende's <a href="http://www.ayende.com/Blog/archive/2007/03/16/Linq-for-NHibernate.aspx">Linq for NHibernate</a> at all?
