I need to get up to speed on the new dataset object fast. Can someone
recommend a primer or other highly condensed tutorial that will give me an
intense injection of practical knowledge on how datasets work?

In particular, I know that a dataset can contain multiple tables but can a
dataset encapsulate hierarchical data arrangements? The particular
application that my company wants me to investigate is if it is practical to
use a dataset instead of an Xml file stream as a data transfer object for a
very complicated project document of variable data contents and shape.
 
Richard,

A dataset holds beside a lot of methods
DataTables
DataRelations
DataTables holds
DataColumns
DataRows
DataRows holds
DataItems which are described in the DataColumns.

They all have a lot of properties, difficult to fill all by hand but by
using the strongly typed dataset generators this is all done for you from
the database.

In fact is in my eyes any alternatave for not batch processing a waste of
money.

But just my thought,

Cor
