Hey all,

I read the following at the conclusion of an article:
Data binding has finally come of age. The implementation of data binding in
both Web Forms and Windows Forms is practical and useful in many cases. One
of the biggest benefits is that we can now data bind to objects and
collections, not just to the DataSet and related ADO.NET objects.

As we've seen in this article, with a relatively small amount of extra code
in our business and collection classes, we can allow Windows Forms data
binding to interact with our objects in very rich and powerful ways. No
longer are we stuck using pure data technologies in RAD development. Now we
can be object-oriented and RAD at the same time!
End of Quote.

I'm new to .Net and Object oriented programming. Is this saying if you use
datasets it's not really an object oriented practice?

thanks,
rodchar

Using datasets is completely object oriented. You might want to check out
the book "Microsoft ADO.NET" by David Sceppa. It goes into depth the
ADO.NET model and describes datasets very thoroughly.
