Fitting LINQ to SQL in an Application Framework

I've gathered some of the ideas we've discussing on the LINQ to SQL technologies and how to fit them in our own layered application framework and wrote an article for the Level Extreme .NET online magazine.

The topics covered are:

• Aspects of LTS we need to override.

The article concludes with the need of a custom LINQ to SQL generator ( see our CodePlex ULinqGen Project )  and of a custom way to provide disconnected change tracking on the entities.
