  Kevin,
  I really enjoyed your first webinar and have registered for the upcoming one. However now that I have had tiem to play with OpenAccess a bit more I do have soem questiosn and was wondering if these will be covered in the upcoming Webinar.
  
  In the last webinar you showed a very quick and simple, yet powerful, example of dropping a Radgrid on to a Webform and having the ORM manage all the updates, deletes, etc... My question though is if I use custom edit forms or I am not using a grid to display my data then how do I go about doing these same types of DB transactions. I can not figure out how to bind my controls to the datasource in other words.

  My next topic I would like covered if possible is the WCF functionality of OpenAccess, which I know in your 101 Webinar you said  that WCF was not nativetly supported by OpenAccess, which is fine I can add the attributes to my classes, but again how do I go abotu getting the data bound to controls and updated again. I read all of the disconnected API stuff about the ObjectContainer, but have been unsuccessful in my attempt to implement this. Also as far as best practices should the DAL be located in my WCF Service or should this be split out?
  
  Hopefully these questions make sense and again thank you for your wonderful webinars. I find them very helpful!
