I think you just answered yourself, keyword is convenience. Isn't that what
all these frameworks are for? To make things convenient for us developers.
Sure people get bored of technologies pretty quickly, but what ever does the
job, and if you know it well and can achieve better results with it, th
Now for something different...
Does anyone work at a place that can mill down a block of metal (with a
working face, say, half the size of a business card) at very high precision?
I have access to a CNC lathe but they can't do internal square corners

Hi Greg..
I've worked a bit with an open source app called nSurvey (
http://survey.codeplex.com), and it uses the datatables and datasets all the
way from DB to UI. However, it's overridden/extended the dataset and data
table to make them more like strongly bound types.
I don't know if these are
Hi,
At the moment, at work, there are three projects running and the one that I
support.
Legacy app.
Uses datasets everywhere.
Pros.
Very fast, readonly application.
Cons.
Impossible to debug / modify, data is often loaded behind the scenes which
cause temporary database table locks

Really enjoyed this post :)
This would qualify for an award "Most OT of the Decade"
Any other contenders??

Winston, I also think it's not possible, but I'm not 100% sure. I did some
drag-and-drop research a few weeks ago and couldn't even find a single
example that was done from first principles inside the app's controls. I
eventually had to rely on ComponentOne's weird control to help me get it
working
Thanks for the responses guys, looks like the general consensus is a no. And
any attempts at doing so is more of a hack and illusion.
Cheers again to everyone! :)

Hi Davy
Have you looked at EF4.1 Code first release?
I am wondering if it would alter your thinking on prefering Nhibernate for
new projects

Chaps, your comments are interesting and perhaps make me feel not so guilty
for using System.Data classes in these modern times.
I've only used netTiers and EF4 in recent years, but deep down they all run
a SELECT statement, loop through the rows and move the columns into
collections of objects
Sounds intriguing. If it aint secret, and you'd have to kill us all if you
told us, go on...
Ideas that occur are does it have to be metal, could you make it with some
of the 3d printer stuff that's starting to happen?

So something like a branding iron onto leather. (or forehead[1]) :^)
Of course, if you're using a laser, you could use that direct on end
material to produce code. But maybe you want to sell the stamp to ppl
without a laser.

Have a chat to a stamp maker. I'm sure you aren't the first person to want a
metal stamp and certainly won't be the last.
A laser cutter will be able to do what you want, but they are restricted by the
width of the cutting "beam", which in the cases I've seen is actually quite
wide, something in

Hi all
Just in case some of you haven't seen this already, the YOW! 2011 Developer
Conference is happening in Melbourne & Brisbane in December (No Perth event
yet, but we're working on it... )
Not specifically targeting .NET, but worth checking out.
More details here: http://www.yowconf
Mention my name, they'll charge you more ;)

My love affair with datasets fell away as I improved as a programmer...
We initially used data-sets in a failing project years ago early in the .Net
days. It was a nightmare to maintain - and the underlying database schema
wasn't settled. Due to the lack of strong typing in data-sets a change in
