Is it recommended to use datasets in ASP.Net 2.0 / VS.Net 2005 ?

Hello Luqman,
if you are interested in -just- reading data from whatever database,
you might want to take a look at the 'datareader', as it is more
effecient than the dataset.
Ofcourse if you wish to CRUD with data a dataset will do just fine.
also, you might want to take a look at the new datasource controls
available in asp.net 2.0, these too can do alot of work for you.
Egu
Only if you need them.

Datasets are principal building blocks for business logic in dotnet.
Consider using them in all cases where you care about business logic.

Yes, particularly if you're working with databases... ;-)
objects and classes are the principal building blocks for business logic in
..NET. A DataSet is merely an existing generic container for this - one that
many would say it's drawbacks far outweigh it's
benefits.

From my point of view,
when your business logic layer is very thin and you just need to forward
insert, update and select operations to the datalayer then you can use
datasets (typed or not but I like to put all my typed dataset in another
layer which I call commonlayer), of course if your application requires a
more complex business logic it could happen that dataset are not enough so
you can still use them for data transfers, but probably you will need
objects (class definitions) to "envelope" your process logic...
anyway you can heaven inherit from dataset and add your own methods and
properties...
Davide.
Objects and classes are too general notions. Datasets come with strong
typing and design tools that do good job for you. Again, they are good when
you care about business logic. When you don't, when all you need is just to
provide data to your form, then they are indeed too heavy.

I've always used untyped datasets. In a Microsoft course, it walks through
creating typed datasets and harps on the benefits. It has you drag all
these things around ..wizard, wizard, wizard... code gen, code gen, code

What's at the end looks slick, but then there's a ton of generated code that
I'm going to have to maintain now.
I.e. I like typing things myself (don't like wizards) so I can know exactly
what I've done.

I'm trying to switch to VS 2005, from VS 2003. I've an ASP.NET 1.1 app
heavily relying on StronglyTyped DataSets, with lots of FindByKey...,
