How do I define a property to read an attribute from, without instantionating an object?

Question

Suppose I have:

class Person
{
[ColumnAttribute(\"ID\"]
    public int Id;
[ColumnAttribute(\"Name\"]
public string Name;
[ColumnAttribute(\"DateOfBirth\"]
    p         


        

Answer 1

Is there a specific reason to force ordering on the GetAllByAge() method itself? Why not just sort it once you get it back? Does the order by logic need to happen server side? I would return a List (which you mentioned doing yourself) and use LINQ to order the set as needed, unless I had a really good reason not to:

Dal.Person.GetAllByAge(25).OrderBy(p => p.BirthDate);
