Well, they can return instances of business objects, but not in a 
statically-typed way.

Have you looked into the Whidbey "partial classes" feature? I don't know 
if partial classes can be defined across multiple assemblies, but if so, 
it would solve your problem.

nrdo's way of doing this is less elegant, btw: It requires you to use C# 
and put your C# code into the .dfn file, rather than a separate C# file. 
And then your C# is compiled as part of the Generated Files assembly and 
isn't able to access anything in your main application assembly.

A good solution to this problem might help nrdo too. Unfortunately, 
IObjectCreator is the best I can come up with.
