an Open Source Utility that Automatically Create Data Transfer Objects based on LINQ to SQL Data Classes
Few weeks ago I posted in my Hebrew blog a post about using Data Transfer Objects to work with LINQ to SQL and ADO.NET Entity Framework (that currently both of them doesn’t support working with POCO).
