Hi, David.

I absolutely agree. Indeed, it smells terrble bad when you see a method like GetDataset() in a business object. OOP is all about encapsulation and abstraction in general, so having a method whose name refers THAT badly to the implementation should be like a fire alarm for anyone.
Talking about what... aren't you willing to write about domain model fo UT Mag? 8-)
We're still missing you, David. Drop me a line whenever you have a couple minutes.
Best regards,
