You are correct. This is the wrong forum for this sort of question, so I will let this end here. I have indeed started to test out the implementation I suggested, and will see how it works out. My concern is that I am moving my team away from a Microsoft centric approach, and don't want to introduce too many potentially unnecessary abstractions that could possibly hinder development.For myself, I am all for introducing other layers of abstraction if they provide ease of maintainability and separation of concerns. Thanks for your thoughts.
