Data Objects

I am currently using data obejcts with something like the code below.    I was going to try to seperate the "Contact" and the data access i.e the load contact etc .  Is this a recomended apporach is there a particular pattern for this.

Sorry for the vague questions just need some direction on this.


Class Contact

Property Firstname as String
Property Surname as String

Public Function LoadContact(ContactID as integer) as Contact
End Sub

Public Function LoadContacts(OrgID as integer) as BindingList(of Contact)
End Sub

Public Sub UpdateContact(Contact as Contact)
End Sub


End Class
End Sub
