Hi,
I am part of a team building a stock exchange software - Order
Management system'.
The current system that we have supports 200,000 orders per day.
All of this data is needed in memory.Ofc ourse this system was built in
VC++.
what I want to know is :

- Is there a alternative to storing data in dataset?
- this alternative doesnt have to be as flexible and as feature filled
as the dataset.
-can you suggest some ideas for the same.
I have been tinkering around with specifalised business objects and
using them to store the data.

Amar,
There are a number of alternatives, depending mostly on the functionality
you need.
You have System.Collections - based objects such as Hashtable, ArrayList,
and others. You can also create a custom Collection-type object by deriving
from CollectionBase or one of the above-mentioned classes.

You can define a business object and have a collection of these, if using
2.0 you can use a template collection.

If you have a static number of instances you could use an array instead.

This approach will be faster as you will avoid the boxing/unboxing of the
dataset

I have 2.0 and 1.1 examples at

Basically, you write objects. .. and then make collections for <List> out
of them.
