Create a BusinessObject

API Reference

A BusinessObject is a container that holds the data entity you are creating. There is no need to interact with the database. All CRUD and versioning happens automatically when you inherit from BusinessObject<self>

Any public property with a GET/SET will automatically be saved.

Excluding a public property is possible if you decorate the property with [XMLIgnore].

        {
