Hi,

I have an existing application which requires a re-design of the DAL. This application has a set of custom business objects which I would like to keep. I'm using LLBL to generate the DAL and I'm wondering if LLBL supports mapping to custom business objects (CBO).

On the same note, if LLBL doesn't support mapping to CBO then would the following architecture be a good design practice:

Custom Business Objects <---> Entity Translator <---> LLBL Entities <---> Database

Thanks in advance for your help.

No, LLBLGen Pro doesn't support a direct mapping between a database table and a CBO.

Custom Business Objects <---> Entity Translator <---> LLBL Entities <---> Database

This looks fine, and you can use Projection to custom classes in the entity translator layer.

Thanks Walaa
