I have a control that needs to have it's own encapsulated data access. Meaning that the control needs to perform some data access necessary to the proper functioning of the control that has no bearing on, and should be invisible to, all other controls and the form.

To me this means that the internal data access of the control needs to bypass the standard state changes associated with retriving data generated by GetDataSet and FillDataSet.

Any suggestions on how best to do this?
