Cor maybe I didn't quite understand what you are saying. But anyway, how
you'd display the data is not a big deal since the classes you'd write would
all implement the standard interfaces like IList IDisposable etc. so they
could be treated like any standard ADO.NET object like a dataset .. and yes
you could then databind them even .. .. so essentially the same techniques
that you'd use to display the data using a dataset could be used on these
classes.
You might also want to look at datasetsurrogate on the microsoft
knowledgebase, and see how they serialize the dataset, essentially you need
to import the same serialization mechanism and pass it to a custom class
that pages it for you. (Thats the whole idea really).
I'd be happy to write the code as a sample but basically I'm a lazy bum and
this is too much work LOL !!. Anyway, if everyone insists that we absolutely
must have a code sample for this, I'd be happy to write one up and put it on
gotdotnet (just don't expect it tommorow ..). Lemme know !!
