Question

I use the repository pattern for pretty much all of my projects. I have a .edmx/.dbml file that has my database tables referenced, and then for each table I create a ‘Tablename’Repository.cs

Each of these classes have the same methods with only the type of table being called being changed.

public IQueryable<Area> FindAll()
public IQueryable<Department> FindAll()
public IQueryable<Boss> FindAll()

Any suggestions? This would really cut my cruft development time and I think people would enjoy using it.

Thanks!
