I am still deciding out a data strategy !!!

Is it better to use datasets or direct SQL updates ??

I understand if I was implementing a e-commerce web site similar to Microsoft's IBUYSPY Store example, I need to use datasets and sessions for the Shopping Cart

However, if I wanted to implement a invoicing and booking system shoudl I use datasets ??

Users will be able to search for existing records (or optionally add records)

The datagrid will be populated with results of the user's search (this will be a dataset)

For editing, I will retrieve records from the dataset, Also retrieving related child records as well, for master/detail forms

For updating, I will call the getchanges() and update methods and so on.

For these kind of applications, is it better to use datasets or direct SQL updates ?? If my web form contains many sub-pages, should I use panels or separate pages together with sessions.

I HOPE SOMEONE CAN HELP !!

Sum,

Its usually better in the long run to make use of DataSet's
since popping them into session state isn't a huge issue
given an appropriately scaled state server. The only time
you might want to reconsider that is when you are retrieving
HUGE data-sets in which case you may need to fall-back to
the DataReader, but try DataSet's first and see how you go.

In most cases web front-ends don't lend themselves to
searching through tens of thousands of records anyway.
