Using datasets and datatables in Web applications is not an optimal choice that I have experienced.

Myself, I have  done a lot of unit testing and mocking as a contractor or as a fulltime employee in various companies. I have never seen a dataset and datatable being used in a unit test or mocked. I have  never seen a collection with custom objects being mocked either, but I have seen a collection of custom objects being arranged with test data being used in unit tess, becuase a collection of  custom objects was being used in the program.
