John,

Against DataSets, eh? I'm curious as to what objections he has to using DataSets? They don't have to be simply data. In fact, we have further sub-classed all of the generated Typed DataSets that we use and have put a few extra methods in them, so they can be, if one wanted them to be, kinda like mini-biz objects.

Anyway, just curious ... can you summarize some of his objections?

After reviewing the actual code inside the typed DataSet (such as the embedded SQL statements that sometimes appear), I want a "slim down" typed dataset and just started to develop my own subclassed version of DataSet - I planned on developing a custom code generator for creating the dataset.
