Given a class

class ReusableThing
{
public int Id
{ get { ... } set { ...} }

public string Description
{ get { ... } set { ... } }

}

.. is it possible to create a single mapping file that can be used to map two instances of this class from different table names? An obvious example would be with collections of lookup values where you might have a number of different tables that contain identical structures. If you were to do this yourself you might add a table name that gets set on construction and use it in a "SELECT id, name FROM " + tablename style affair. You might extend it also to customize the column names.

Apologies if this is obvious / has been answered before, I did have a look around.

This is not possible currently. There were some, but not much, discussion here:

Thanks for the reply. I'll keep an eye on things. I might have a look at using the embedded attribute stuff to do this, or just do it myself through ADO. Net.
