Create Business Object from a Query?

Instead of mapping to a table, can a person map a BO to a Query?

If you don't need the strong-typed properties, you can pull any query into a business object because the business object stores its record sets in a DataTable, which is malleable, so it can contain any number of columns. All of the retrieved columsn will then be available through the Item() property on the business object.

Jason,

The only way you can map to a query and have the strong-typed properties created is by mapping to a view. This allows you to pull from a number of different tables at the same time and bring the data into a single business object entity and still have the strong-typed property access.
