>>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.
