I'm wondering what the best practice is for those using LLBLGen Pro classes.

Are you using the entity classes as your Business Objects. Or, are you creating a Business Object layer that uses the Entity objects internally.

My big problem is, if I want to Get a collection of X where are you building your filter? Are you doing this in the web form code behind? Or, are you creating a business object to do this. What if you have a process that uses several entities. Like, perhaps a GL Close, which needs to look at a whole bunch of entities and interact with them?

I guess my issue is, I think my UI layer uses the Entitiy objects directly there is too much code in them?

Any guidence on this would be helpfull.

Hi BOb (Otis: edit )

Many threads have been discussed on this subject. Check out http://www.llblgen.com/tinyforum/Messages.aspx?ThreadID=920 also, do a search for business object, you will find much.

Take care,

You may find an answer to some of your questions in the CSLA.NET framework. JCL is a framework the uses the CSLA architecture with LLBL entities and collections as business objects. JCL also includes a suggested winforms UI framewrok to consume a JCL BL class. You can download JCL from the 3rd party link at LLBL's home page.

Hello,

I am trying the DEMO of LLBL and I have no access to the 3rd party link at LLBL's home page. How can I download JCL?

I believe that section is available when you purchase a license.
