How would one deal with lookup values using DAL+? That is, I have a bunch of lookup tables in my database. For example, a States table, a Countries table, an Employee_Role_Lookup table, etc.. I want to use them to populate drop-down lists in various modules. However, I'm not quite sure what the "correct" way to do this would be. Do I create Info and Controller classes for each lookup even though I'm not interested in inserting, updating, or deleting them, only in selecting? Or, do I create one LookupUtility class that just has methods for getting lookup values from various tables? If the latter, does it also go in the app_code folder?

Really you can do it either way - as some in the DNN world will say there is no 'right' way to do it - personally I like your lookup utility class idea but thats me

as for the app_code folder that really depends - if its not a page/control just a vb file then yes
