LINQ to SQL is great for getting objects in and out of a relational database but how does it fit in to an n-tier application? Demos are great but how do you really use it?

How should my application’s tiers be organized? What are the best-practices for business objects? How do I incorporate auditing in my application? Can I use a base class for my entities? What are my options for concurrency management? How do I extend the DataContext? What are the best-practices about unit testing? What do I need to know about lazy-loading? Inheritance? How does LINQ To SQL affect my ASP.NET code?

In this session, Ben will answer these questions and more. He’ll show you what the best practices are for developing an n-tier application with LINQ to SQL and show you how your application should be architected for testability, maintenance, and performance.
