Are they worth the trouble? Are folks using these for single table
processing? What would you choose, Dataset vs Datatable for single table.

Thanks

Hi Jim,

In addition to Bill, an answer on your second part of your question.

With the dataset you have a lot of build in methods to serialize.
(Webservice, read/write direct to XML etc).

I think that that makes the decission.

They are worth the trouble, but only just, IMHO. The problem is not the idea
(which is great), but the implementation of them. They aren't as good as
they could be. The good news is that there are a couple of alternative
generators out there, and writing your own generator is not that hard.

We use them for both single and multiple table situations. Even for single
tables, we stick to using a complete DataSet.
