Would it be possible to add something to the BOMapper so that we can specify descriptions for fields. It would be helpful for so that we could use these descriptions for display purposes on our forms.



We have read a few posts concerning field descriptions in the BO and it appears that the Description attribute gets set as the field name by the BOMapper, and if we change it then it just gets overridden.

Any idea if this is planned?  We are looking to write some auditing code and it would make our lives SO much easier if we could pull an audit description directly from the BO field descriptor.

We're looking into using the MS_Description from SQL Server as the <summary> tag for the Doc Comments.  That means that whatever you put as the description for the column within Enterprise Manager or SQL Server Management Studio, will show up within intellisense like the description from the DDT does.
