If you move your code to libraries, you will have accomplished the
separation without invoking BizTalk. You will then, at least generally, put
a facade layer to query the objects from the UI.

While it is not the only, or necessarily the best, implementation,
dofactory.com has a Framework you can download ($99 for the entire package)
that has a reference application with multiple tiers and proper use of
design patterns. It is worth a look to see how someone separates business
logic from UI. I personally would consider a slightly different data layer,
but it is something you can work with.
