  We are currently developing a custom inventory, sales, and contact management system. The system (ASP.NET 2.0) maintains customers, inventory, and orders, and our next phase must provide workflow to integrate the users with each other in a task-driven workflow.

In our proposed workflow solution, many complex workflows will be processing simultaneously, and each user will have many "tasks" assigned to them at any given time.

For my part I have written my Mappers and used commercial OR/M tools. They mostly provide the same thing. __Read the table from the database. ___Put that into a some HELPER thing.( DAO,DAL,ORM) ____Put that into your custom business object _____Read from your business object.(if u can :) ) I see NO REASON for this " Unnecessary Pull ...Show All
