Sorry about the cross posting. Shouldn't have gone to aspnet.

Hi all,

Having moved from dotnet V1.1 to V2 I am having some difficulty
understanding the new data access methods that seem to be preferred.
In V1.1 the dataset did everything that I needed, and now it seems that
the preferrence is the datasource control! aaarrrrgggg!

I have followed several example of how to manage the modification and
deletion of data from a gridview on as asp.net page and I have to say I
am impressed with its simplicity, however, can anyone point be to a
post or other online article that has the details of how to do this
using a dataset instead of a datasource?

I can bind my dataset to the gridview, but the entire edit/delete
functionality has gone. What am I missing?

Many thanks,

Jason
