I should have been more specific in my example. The Load actually
hydrates the customer, not a theme. Copy/paste error.
public Customer(int customerID) { ...
...validation...
customerDataAccess.Load(this, customerID);
}
so then, after something like:
Customer c = new Customer(123);
I could then access c.BillingAddress, c.BalanceDue, whatever else,
etc...
