Folks,

I am puppulating grid using multiple tables. wondering if it is standard practice to using datasets on web based application.

If yes then what are the prose and cons.

If no then how can i use Edit feature in gridview, which dosent seems to display advance (insert, edit, delete) options in connection wizard.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

i think dataset is not a good practic. becuase it is heavy controls.

you can use your own entity and based on that maintain the Edit event, it is easy way to edit the grid and much faster.

Datasets are inoucous

Tables are the real idea:

yes:faster development

no: testing, strong typing
