Hi,

I am creating a Data Access Layer. I have seen examples for
"ExecuteDataset" for SQL Client that does not allow table mappings but on
FillDataset it does allow table mappings. I am cursious can someone explain
why? I am trying to understand why someone would want to have a dataset
with multiple tables with no way to reference them outside of [index].

Thanks
 
Wonderful question. My answer: I do not have a clue.

I would ask this on the site www.asp.net, as the authors of the blocks have
a forum set up for this particular block. You might get a better answer from
someone who actually knows the design.

I use the FillDataSet regularly, as I do want tableMappings set. I have also
extended the block, as I feel there are plenty of shortcomings. There is a
downloadable version 3.0 of the block at www.gotdotnet.com in the workspaces
that I have not played with yet.

Back to the question: My assumption is the person creating the
ExecuteDataSet method did not think about mapping tables.

Thanks for the reply. I have looked at 3.0 on gotdotnet and it is quite
good. It too does not allow for table mappings in ExecuteDataset. I just
really want an explanation.

Thanks
