Really easy to use framework capable of generating the right controls dynamically for each data type.
using System;

namespace Pfz.Databasing
{
	/// <summary>
	/// Base class used in auto-implemented records.
	/// You can also create classes derived from it if you need to create a
	/// non-persisted record.
	/// </summary>
	[Serializable]
	public class RecordBase:
		IRecord
	{
		/// <summary>
		/// Gets an empty RecordBase instance.
		/// This is used in the ThreadErrors when there is no record.
		/// </summary>
		public static readonly IRecord Empty = new RecordBase();
	
		private bool fMustDeleteOnApply;
		
		/// <summary>
		/// The constructor is internal so the class must be inherited.
		/// </summary>
		internal protected RecordBase()
		{
		}
		
		/// <summary>
		/// Gets a value determining if this record must be
		/// deleted if it is applied.
		/// </summary>
		public bool GetMustDeleteOnApply()
		{
			return fMustDeleteOnApply;
		}
		/// <summary>
		/// Sets the MustDeleteOnApply field without doing any checking.
		/// </summary>
		internal protected void SetMustDeleteOnApply(bool value)
		{
			fMustDeleteOnApply = value;
		}
		
		/// <summary>
		/// Marks the actual record for deletion.
		/// </summary>
		public void Delete()
		{
			if (fRecordMode != RecordMode.ReadOnly)
				throw new DatabaseException("Only read-only (loaded) records can be marked for deletion.");
				
			fMustDeleteOnApply = true;
		}
		
		/// <summary>
		/// Unmarks the actual record for deletion.
		/// </summary>
		public void CancelDelete()
		{
			fMustDeleteOnApply = false;
		}
	
		private RecordMode fRecordMode;
		
		/// <summary>

		/// </summary>
		/// <returns></returns>
		public RecordMode GetRecordMode()
		{
			return fRecordMode;
		}
		/// <summary>

		/// </summary>
		internal protected void SetRecordMode(RecordMode value)
		{
			fRecordMode = value;
		}

		private IRecord fOldRecord;

		}

		/// <summary>
		/// Throws a NotImplementedException.
		/// If you need it, override it and don't call base.
		/// </summary>
		public virtual IRecord UntypedCreateUpdateRecord()
		{
			throw new NotImplementedException();
		}

		/// <summary>
		/// Throws a NotImplementedException.
		/// If you need it, override it and don't call base.
		/// </summary>
		public virtual object Clone()
		{
			throw new NotImplementedException();
		}
	}

I started to program computers when I was 11 years old, as a hobbyist, programming in AMOS Basic and Blitz Basic for Amiga.
At 12 I had my first try with assembler, but it was too difficult at the time. Then, in the same year, I learned C and, after learning C, I was finally able to learn assembler (for Motorola 680x0).
Not sure, but probably between 12 and 13, I started to learn C++. I always programmed "in an object oriented way", but using function pointers instead of virtual methods.

At 15 I started to learn Pascal at school and to use Delphi. At 16 I started my first internship (using Delphi). At 18 I started to work professionally using C++ and since then I've developed my programming skills as a professional developer in C++ and C#, generally creating libraries that help other developers do their work easier, faster and with less errors.
