Here is a quick general purpose nhibernate criteria call to retrieve a list of results where the id is in a list. It is written as a generic method that I placed in my base repository and can use it for all of my domain objects. So T resolves to the type of domain object you are retrieving.

        public IEnumerable<T> Get(IEnumerable<IdType> ids)
        {
            var criteria = Session.CreateCriteria<T>()
                .Add(Restrictions.In("Id", ids.ToArray()));

            return criteria.List<T>();
        }

The sql this generates is essentially:

select * from DomainObjectTable
where id in('id1', 'id2', ...)
