passing data sets between objects

What is the best way to pass a data set between objects? I have a custom
control which will depend on a dataset (kind of like a bound contorl, but im
handleing it differently) is it best to pass as a public variable or a
property? since a property only retrieves By value, and not by reference,
when you send a data set in does it make a copy of it for that object? or
just pass a reference similar to what an array would do in C++. What i need
to do is pass the data set to the custom control, do some updateing on the
data there then have it available for the application behind the contorl
(the parent form). Whats the best way to achieve this? thanks

I'm working on a Windows forms/C# database application. My background is 6-7 years of VB 4 - 6, MS Access, VC++, mixed in with a lot of T-SQL and MS SQL Server in general and some OOA/OOD. Previously, I haven't been overly impressed with the capabilities of the various "graphical" data access tools that have been provided with VB etc. Though deceptively simple to get started with, IMHO they haven't provided the necessary flexibility...

Hi, In my application I get lots of different sorts of information from databases. As such, a lot of information is stored in DataSets and DataTable objects. Up until now, I have been passing around chunks of data in DataTables/DataSets, simply because that was the format that they were in when the data was taken from the database. Now, I know this maybe a pretty silly question with a standard "it depends" answer, but I'm going to...

Hi all, I'm currently designing an n-tier application and have some doubts about my design.

I was under the assumption that if you pass an object as a param to a method and inside that method this object is changed, the object will stay changed when returned from the method because the object is a reference type? my code is not proving that.

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
