Updated: Generic base class for LINQ2SQL data layers

Hi,

It’s been a while since I posted the first version of my generic base class for LINQ2SQL data layers. The idea behind this class was to provide a quick and simple way to implement a repository with LINQ2SQL and therefore also a solid foundation for implementing your n-tier architecture data layer. If you missed the article, you can read more about the base class here.

The version I previously posted has worked fine for me, but it was still lacking a way to retrieve the ID and version attributes of saved entities. Due to a typo, it also did not work with entities that have more than one unique identity column. Thanks to Mike and Fabrizio for pointing out these limitations!

Version 0.2 available here fixes both of these issues:
