Repository Pattern in C#

Question

I am trying to figure out the repository pattern for .NET. I think I have a pretty decent understanding of it, but I still don't feel comfortable using it.

I have googled for this topic, but found some advanced topics along with the repository pattern. What I am looking for is a basic knowledge of the concept, then I can build on it. With that said, can I get a recommendation of some good articles on the repository pattern?

Thanks

Ayende's Rhino.Commons has a decent implementation.

I also benefitted from reading "Domain-Driven Design" by Eric Evans, which gives a good foundation of understanding the motivations behind Repository.
