Hi,
One of the most used terms I come across in .NET world is "entity" and I admit that I am clueless about what it means. The definition of Entity in the dictionary is "something that exists as a separate thing". This is very helpful, of course <g>; they might as well simply describe it as a "thing". But back to .NET world.
I was just reading an article on the web on building business objects and the term "entity" is all over there:
"entity state"
"entity state type"
"entity state property"
etc.
There is also a well known framework that has he word "Entity" in it.
Could someone explain to me the term "entity" in the .NET? TIA.
