Question

I have the following mapping in Fluent-NHibernate Map

public class PostMap : ClassMap<Post>
{
    public PostMap()
    {
        Id(i => i.Id).GeneratedBy.GuidComb();
        Map(x => x.SiteId);
        Map(x => x.Message);
        Map(x => x.DateCreated);
        Map(x => x.DateModified);
        HasMany(x => x.Comments)
            .OrderBy("DateCreated DESC")
            .ReadOnly()
            .Not.LazyLoad();
    }
}

There are a lot of comments on each post, what I would like to do is only bring back the top 5 from the db rather than remove them in code.

Should be possible with filters. Read here: http://nhibernate.info/doc/nh/en/index.html#filters
