I guess I've stepped in it a little bit. Various people added their own comments.  Anyways, I do like Brad's original note: ".....You want to know a secret? We don't use DataSets in our data layer at all. In fact, the first time a DataSet emerges from our code is when a  walks our object model to create a DataSet to hand off to data-bound ASP.NET controls. How does data get out of the database? Using DataReaders, of course, directly populating objects in our object model......" 3:42:18 PM     Justin makes a point about productivity especially when consulting. I can sympathize with yourpoint ( having run my own consultancy for the past 7 years or so). However, I think you may have also experienced some of the strange time warp effect that has overcome our business in which people no longer understand that good things take their time. Internet scripting could be partially to blame for that one I suppose. By the way, am I the only one who noticed how the final print of Fowlers Enterprise Pattern book seems to have so much less coverage of .NET than the manuscript did ? Or maybe I'm dreaming.... 3:34:30 PM
