Finally, a good use for a dataset in a project that starts from scratch
Most of the recent projects that I have worked on have had fairly simple data shape requirements. What I mean by that is that the majority of the data tends to fit into a "row" of data. I've had some older (COM/Classic ADO) projects where the there was a lot of relationships, but nothing new where I can work a good dataset design into the system from the begining. Well, I am getting started on a new project. As I have read over the initial design documents, the term "dataset" has been screaming at me as this will be the first project that I will be able to design a dataset into with appropiate hierarchy from the begining.
