Hi

Here are the questions I have as I am getting my feet wet with ADO.NET :

(1) Why Datasets ? What is the need to have an in memory representation of the DB & some of the DB's we deal with have tables that have a million records -- in this case would it be prudent to have an in memory representation of this table ?

(2)Also I have seen a lot of literature with respect to disconnected feature of ADO.NET. Could someone please tell me what the disconected feature is all about ?

If these are elementary I apologize but I want to know what is the underlying problem this architecture is trying to address.

TIA
Avinash
