 Easy to use VS performance: At one end where dataadaptor is quite easy to use, 
where as datareader for better performance. 
RowCount: Often after we fire select query , we would like to know how many 
recrods we retrieved. With a DataReader its not possible to know rowcount 
unless we finish iteration through all rows. you will need to use another 
SELECT COUNT(*) query. the quick solution can be as below 
Dim dr As SqlDataReader
Dim cmd As New SqlCommand("Select Count(*) from Jokes;Select * from Jokes", 
Me.SqlConnection1)
Dim TotalRows As Integer
Me.SqlConnection1.Open()
dr = cmd.ExecuteReader()
While dr.Read()
       TotalRows = dr(0)
       MsgBox(TotalRows.ToString())
      dr.NextResult()
                While dr.Read()
                        MsgBox(dr("JokeHeading"))
                End While
        End While
Me.SqlConnection1.Close() 
With dataadaptor its easy, since data is stored in DataSet we get rowcount also 
we can iterate to next and previous records , which is not possible using 
datareader 
Passing Data between layers: one major limitation is you can't serialized 
datareaders, only alternative is DataSets.
