Thanks,
i will try this template approach, looks nice :)

I've tried NHibernate and Gentle.NET as OPFs so far, both of them have quite
some limitations though, so I'll rather stick with my own "framework" and
code-generation templates...

Thanks!

I guess so, Delphi has virtual static methods.

Then how about factoring out the retrieval behaviour, which I would say
doesn't belong in the Customer class and use an Object Persistence Framework
instead ?

If you are using .NET 2.0, you can have methods on it like :

public class ObjectStore
{
public objectT RetrieveObject<objectT>(int Id)
{
...
}

...
}

Although I would also argue that most times you could retrieve a browsing
list for a criteria and then choose one object. That way you don't need to
know the ID outside of the OPF.
