Rapid Development in VB2005

[CypherDrive]

Hi guys and gals,

We'd like to do a Rapid Development using VB.NET 2005 and SQL Express
Edition 2005.
Please comment on this approach.

1. Develop Reference Tables and Programs/ Forms using Strong Typed Dataset.
(As demo by Ms. Beth Massi) - Rapid Development.
2. Develop Transaction Tables Programs/ Forms using Weak Typed Dataset.
(Since there can be debugging is easier and is more complicated)
3. Use Crystal Report ???

Is it safe to say that this is faster than creating programs using weak
typed dataset????

---- End ----

In my idea are this Apples and Computers, using weak typed dataset could
give more problems, but if it is slower while creating depends completely on
the developer.

Hello CypherDrive,

I personally prefer Strong Typed Dataset, too. Typed DataSets are faster
than the UnTyped DataSets in that they use early binding. In addition,
Strong Typed DataSet is easier to be maintained.

It's uneasy to say which one is faster to develop. In my opinion, it
depends on the complexity of the dataset. If it's small and simple, Weak
Typed DataSet might be quicker.
