Carter,

>With what you pointed out to me, I'd be doing this in several place throughout a page because I'm restoring the DataSet in multiple places, correct. Is there one "proper" place where I should have done this, which would cover the business object use of this DataSet for the life of the page.

>I haven't played around with this yet, but I'm thinking that in the page_load event method after either retrieveing the record into DataSet or recoving it from the session, I should set the business object's current dataset there and be good for the current trip through page's processing whether I'm deleting or saving. Agreed or is there another "proper" place to do this? And of course, I wouldn't be restoring the DataSet from the Session all over the place either, correct?

How you would do this really depends on the logic of the particular page. If it makes sense on a particular page, you can definitely put the code in the Page_Load method.
