Let me say this: It works reasonably well, but it's not what I consider optimal either. I will re-write this layer at some point to a more pure entity approach most likely once LINQ is available.

The stuff I use is currently baked into my wwBusiness library that's part of the Web Store here:

There's more info on architecture and how it works from the links on that page.
