Body
I am using the following code to save an object and all its properties to a db. It saves me from having to create a save method in every business object. The code in my base class is: <pre><code> public void Save() { List<SqlParameter> Params = new List<SqlParameter>(); foreach (PropertyInfo Property in this.GetType().GetProperties()) { if (Property.CanRead) Params.Add(new SqlParameter(Property.Name,Property.GetValue(this,null))); } Execute<int>(SaveProcedure, Params.ToArray()); } </code></pre> Is this a good practice or would I be better off not using reflection and creating a save method in each object I create? Any other ideas or suggestions are appreciated, thanks!

1. COYou may run into some problems if your database doesn't have fields that match the property names of your objects.

2. COThank you all for the quick responses. I am going to look into LinqToSql and steer away from this completely.

Guidance

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
