When you talk about adding/editing/deleting, you're not talking
about (a) selecting the data and then (b) doing the add/update/delete on
that recordset, are you? Because that would seem like a really odd way
to do what you want to do...
You get the data, use the DataReader to populate your form
elements, and then on postback, you do all that crazy stuff with various
other database operations. No sense selecting more data just to change
it...

DataReader is good, but does'nt it provide forward only read? I
will need to be able to edit, update, delete, or even make some of
these records inactive based on criteria. I will also always be
adding new records too, that will need to be viewed one at a time.
The best example of something that does what I want it to is the
Windows Dataform because it gives the ability to use either a
datagrid, or labels and textboxes which is what I want to do. The
windows dataform very closely resembles what I want to do, because I
can have other tables related to the customer table, and show their
jobs, resumes, etc. How can I do this kind of management using C#
Web forms?
