Best way to pass sqldatareader?

[Lawnmower Gangster]

Hey all-
I've done some reading and came accross a few different sources that say
it's not a good idea to pass sqlDataReaders. This is fine, but how are you
really suppost to do this then?

In my current app I created a Class and then created a few custom functions
that return datareaders. Would somone share with me how I really need to be
doing this?

Thanks,
Doug

It isn't a hard and fast rule. On the other hand, if you have to ask, you
should probably follow it.

Use DataTables or DataSets instead?
