i'm really going overbord with DTO's in my quest for the "correct"
way.
what do some of you consider correct for property naming?
given a Customer and CustomerDTO (class)
each with an id and a string for a Name property
Customer.ID
Customer.Name
what would the CustomerDTO properties be?
Thanks

I create screen and operation specific DTOs. That way they can
contain as much or as little information as needed specific to their
usage.
I also don't use my domain for displaying information on the UI.
Instead I've pulled a few ideas from the Command/Query separation
stuff that's been going on lately.

Thankfully i've had help in the area of not using domain in UI, but i'm still not 100% on how a DTO would be able to fit into NH session tracking? This may be a question based on a false premise, that DTO is two way. I'm still really trying to get a handle on all of it.

Why do you create a DTO? Isn't it easier to create NHibernate mapping
for the "smart" customer class?
for the "smart" customer class?

We have separate DTOs for the Commands(Change customer address to X)
vs Query (Show me customer details for Customer X). When a command
comes in we just use all of it's information.
The one place where we did have to do some work was in terms of
tracking lists. Our solution was to just have an Add/Remove list on
the command DTO and do the work by hand. I think in the future it'd
be interesting to look at some convention over configuration stuff to
handle the add/remove handling via generics or something.

Don't build DTO just for the sport.
Why do you need a DTO, give me more context?
I use WPF databinding with my domain entities for instance..
I have some DTO's, but I don't use a dto per class
