Hi
I've previously constucted my .NET 1.1 data access, via a Data Access Layer
(DAL), that was all in code.

Now that I have access to the DataSet control in .NET 2.0, I'm looking for
opinions or pointers into how to implement a DAL under .NET 2.0. Is it best
to use controls or code?? Are there any best practice code samples around?

Thanks

Paul

Hi,
I would suggest using strongly type data sets. Here are a few links:
http://aspnet.4guysfromrolla.com/articles/020806-1.aspx
http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2006/01/15/435498.aspx

There is also a book out:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/032126892X/qid=1142572517/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/104-4602737-3623922?s=books&v=glance&n=283155
The book is kind of verbose, but good material is present.

Thanks,
