I have a relatively simple website, n-tier architecture that was
originally created in VS2003. The beauty was that when I want to put a
grid on a page, I could drag a dataset control onto the page, assign it
to one of my typed datasets and bind it to a 3rd-party grid, viola!
there are the columns and blah blah blah things were good.
Now we move to VS 2005 and there is no more Dataset control, there are
these DataObject controls and life is very frustrating. Finding any
sort of documentation/examples of using these DataObject controls
beyond basic useless things like direct access to the DB with hardcoded
connection strings and select/insert/update/delete statements is near
impossible.
I can't seem to connect a typed dataset to the DataObject and then use
the DataObject like a dataset, but you can't convert a DO to a DS.
Am I the only one who is having trouble with this? I don't see other
people complaining. Can someone direct me to some useful information
out there?
