Business objects vs. entities [closed]

Question

Is there a difference between a business object and an entity?

If I were to define a POCO type of class, say a Product class, would that be a business object or an entity?

public class Product {
    public int ID { get; set; }
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public double Price { get; set; }
    public string Sku { get; set; }
}

Note there is no functionality within this object.

Answer 1

I would call it a DTO (Data Transfer Object). I have also seen them called "Property Classes" in times past. I would NOT call it a Business Object because it has no behavior and by definition BO's are defined by their behavior.
