Datasets were the first attempt in .Net 1.3, but not good enough.
Objects that became containers of containers work better and are
easily morphed to XML when needed. Think of 2.0 and newer.
This is pretty straight forward. I see this as code that will run in
the middle and pass back the List<T>
List<Contacts> contacts = Contacts.SampleData(); // pull of data no param
var q = from c in contacts
where c.DateOfBirth.AddYears(35) > DateTime.Now
orderby c.DateOfBirth descending
select c.FirstName + " " + c.LastName +
" b." + c.DateOfBirth.ToString("dd-MMM-yyyy").ToList();
return q; // return any contact older than 35.
But on the front end you could requery the list again and perhaps set
an orderby on the name?
