Does anyone have a quick example of how to leverage an BO as defined in an external BO Library from within an non-UI application, such as a Console application ? I presume if the BO is configured and working within it's own BO LIbrary project then I should be able to reference the DLL and use it without having to manually implement SetDataSources et al ?



I can see various postings skirting round the issue on the forum but no concrete examples.



Many thx in advance ...

The basic architecture allows for BOs to be loosely coupled to the data source. I.e. this allows you to hot swap datasources on the fly as needed (like you might do if you provide online/offline data access or if you have some sort of fall back database server). Also, this allows for many BOs to share the same data source. The datasource encapsulates the connection info, while the BO encapsulates data access and business rules.



Is that making more sense?

Absolutely, thanks Greg.

Glad it helped!
