I am looking at an old article
http://www.15seconds.com/issue/040614.htm written by Rockford and I see in his example the business object he creates uses a factory method to create new instances. To learn more I was trying to create my own business object and use this pattern to bind some controls. I also create a BindingList<T> of the business object so I can have a data navigator created for me. However, I notice if there is no default (private) constructor. the data navigator hides the "add new" button. I just need to clarify why someone would use a factory pattern for business objects and how they would reconcile this with things like the data navigator?
