Hi Team,

 I would like to get all of you opinion about the DAAB (Data Application Access Block) and Dataset designer, which one is good for develop a web application.

 
 From my understanding is DAAB is all control by us like writing a function or class to call database, do some processing and pass the result back to user. But, we need to remember the data scheme and sqlparameter .

 Dataset designer is all wizard to let us  generate the sql statement. But, we can't control the coding.

 Here I need your help to give me an advise.

 Thanks.
 

I find out that the dataset designer is like old time 3-tier architecture. But, the data layer we can use the designer to build the SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE. From the class there, we can build the business logic inside also.

This will make the application not so much coding in a asp.net page.
 

There are lots of considerations which you can find it on the internet. I will consider Business Objects. :)

You should use Enterprise Library which contains the Data Access Application Block to build Enterprise applications.

The Dataset designer which generates typed-datasets are only suitable for hobbyist applications, prototyping or low performance requirement applications.

If you are looking towards rapid application development using an O/RM, and you have access to Visual Studio 2008, you can try LINQ to SQL.

Hope it helps.
