One well-known pattern is the Repository pattern, described by Martin Fowler (among others). This week, Liam McLennan shows <a href="http://aspalliance.com/1672_Implementing_the_Repository_Pattern_with_LINQtoSQL">how to implement the Repository pattern using the latest data access tools available in .NET 3.5, LINQ-to-SQL</a>. One of the key benefits of this approach is that it allows the domain model to free itself of direct dependencies upon the infrastructure (the database).
