Adding additional columns

Hi,

Is there a way in .net tiers that when you add additional columns and re-generate the framework that you know the areas in the application that are affected? Other frameworks I've used use fail to compile when you add columns and is usefull to know what areas of the application need updating.

 Also, which is the best pattern to use: service or domain, I get the impression service is better as its "cleaner" but I don't have enough reasons why I should use one over the other.

 Thanks in advance 

Kit,

I commonly change/add columns to one of my deployed projects which uses .netTiers heavily, Im not sure I mean 'what is affected', could you elaborate on that a bit?

As far as your second question, It's really a matter of needs/requirements/and tastes. The domain model is quite similar to what a lot of DAL devs have worked with before, so it's where I started. The service model is quite elegant, IMO, but I have yet to use it in a project so I can't speak with authority on picking one or the other.

 HTH
