In hbm mappings I can

<composite-id>
   [..]
   <key-property name="someStringProperty" 
                 column="somefield" 
                 type="AnsiString" 
                 lenght="8"/>
</composite-id>

How do I do that (setting type and length) in Fluent?

Edit:
I posted this on support.fluentnhibernate.org. I included some modifications to support setting the type to e.g. AnsiString there.

Edit 2:
Today Paul Batum has added support for a textual type and a length in his dev-branch. (See github on the changes.)
This makes it possible to write

CompositeId()
  .KeyProperty(
       p => p.SomeProp, 
       k => k.ColumnName("someField").Type("AnsiString").Length(8))
A: 

It seems like you can't. You can only go as far as ...

CompositeId()
        .KeyProperty(x => x.Id1, "ID1")
        .KeyProperty(x => x.Id2, "ID2");

There is no option for type or length.

But in version 1.1 there seems to be a possibility

CompositeId() 
            .KeyProperty(x => x.Id1) 
            .KeyProperty(x => x.Id2, kp => kp 
                .ColumnName("ID2") 
                .Type(typeof(string)));

But the fluent `Type(typeof(string))` still results in a nvarchar mapping, whereas the hbm `type="AnsiString"` results in a varchar mapping!? So there no charge at all?

Seems like it. Altough it looks like they could be adding a CustomType to it in the future. Who knows. You might want to start a discussion to add it to the API at http://support.fluentnhibernate.org/.

Ok. this answer is correct. It is currently impossible to set the length property on composite key parts and the only possible types to set are .net-types. See the edit on the question for a link to more information.
