IBindingList isn't trivial to implement, but it's also not all that hard.
(There's just quite a lot of it...)  Mark Boulter posted an implementation
here:

&I=-3

But I would hesistate to describe doing this as being simpler than using a
dataset.  (A collection that implements IBindingList like this is
undoubtedly a simpler thing than a DataSet, but DataSet has the advantage of
already being in the framework, which makes *using* it simpler...  You don't
have to write it first!)
