Instead of using DataSets i want to implement an objects collection (in C#).
E.g. a class Person and the instances are stored in a collection of Persons.
So there is a layer that does the database access and mapping of relatoinal
<-> objects. The Persons collections should have all the necessary
possibilities: Add, Modify, Delete, Query.

Has anyone suggestions for documents, books on this topic?
Thanks,
Guy
 
Guy,
In addition to Greg's comments. I would recommend Rockford Lhotka's book
"Expert One-on-One Visual Basic .NET Business Objects" which presents the
CSLA.NET framework (built on .NET) based on objects & collections of
objects. http://www.lhotka.net (the book is VB.NET, however there are C#
ports available, plus read
http://www.lhotka.net/Articles.aspx?id=f5ee09ef-577d-430c-b07f-2e6b1d7a7f87).

I would also recommend Martin Fowler's book "Patterns of Enterprise
Application Architecture" from Addison Wesley, which provides a number of
patterns to managed objects, collections of objects and their interaction
with the database. http://www.martinfowler.com/books.html#eaa

Hope this helps
Jay
