Every time they add an item, if it's a new word, it will get added to their list of auto-suggests, just like gmail. I was wondering how most people go about this? Making a call to the s...

I have a GridView bound to an ObjectDataSource. I've got it supporting editing as well, which works just fine.

What is the best way to implement DTOs? My understanding is that they are one way to transfer data between objects. For example, in an ASP.Net app, you might use a DTO to send data from the code-behind to the business logic layer component. What about other options, like just sending the data as method parameters?
