How to design a business object Fed up of hearing about new stuff? In this session Rob will show some existing (but not necessarily familiar) techniques for creating powerful business objects using VB 2005. A business object is basically a set of properties. So how do you make business objects that are instantly sortable, searchable and bindable? How do you make a list of business objects support DataGridView column sorting? And how do you design them to support database updating, inserting and deleting? This session is both a ‘case study’ in business object design and also an insight into some of the thinking behind LINQ.
