----------------------------------------------------------- From: KavindraS Message 4 in Discussion Thanx Ajay & Bala for providing information on Typed Dataset. Now I want to take this discussion little ahead from here. Meanwhile, none of you answered last que of mine "How good are typed dataset for big enterprise solutions ?? as efficieny becomes questionable." Reason I asked so becoz, we are just to start a major revamp of our Data layer, might shift to Typed DataSet from normal usage of DataReader & SQL queries. So my biggest worry is :: Is it going to hit efficieny considerably ?? On my current project we are using custom business entity objects instead that expose typed properties which internally contains a datatable. The custom entity class would also have other methods to get/set data plus know how to load data from the database and persist it back again. Main reason for same is that the entities that contain the data we use in the application become smart entities that know how to handle their data, as opposed to the dataset which is just a container for data and which requires a separate class to handle calls against the database. what I felt till now is that Typed Dataset are good for learning -- how to get started in .NET but have limited benefit for advanced application design. I know Typed Dataset combines the ability of in-memory databases coupled with object oriented and IntelliSens'ed approached. Again it very easy to use also . I just dragged and dropped Tables from the Server Explorer onto a form or a component class - and start using data adapters to generate a typed data set. What I get in return to this 10 minute process is a full schema of the database I'm to work with -with classes that match every table, column and relationship in it. It's very good when it comes to create small applications But then isn't it become arguable "how effective it is in enterprise systems then ??" Looking forward for more replies, because i think its a very interesting if you go deep into it. Thanking you in anticipation.
