So, your Biz class gets the data for the classes/collections in the Common project? I'm still unclear on the architecture of your system. Is it possible for you to give us a brief description of UI-biz-dataaccess architecture?

>That's where it's at. My Order and Dealer classes are both in the common project. However, I am trying to do a lazy load of the Dealer class when I access the Dealer property of the Order class, therefore my Common project needs to reference my Biz project. My Biz class needs to contain an object of my Orders class, therefore my Biz project needs to reference my Commong project. It's a vicious cycle!!!
